The Bible’s basic narrative points to the restoration of the whole world, material and spiritual, as the aim of salvation. Christian churches, therefore, must work for justice and peace in their neighborhoods through service, even as they call individuals to conversion. Indifference to the poor and disadvantaged demonstrates a lack of understanding of grace and God’s free salvation. A church that grasps the gospel will be holistically faithful in both word (Bible teaching) and deed (acts of service).

Distance in her Eyes.
No bridge could ever span
A distance in her eyes
Between what was and is
Two different worlds
Collide within her soul
Fallen moment of heartbreak
Reflected, yet hidden
in the distance in her eyes
searching the invisible
restoration a forsaken hope
for the distance in her eyes
disclose the broken heart
searching for a time before
forlorn hope that all will mend
and be as before, sorrow
such sorrow found within
the distance in her eyes
