"One reason the church has failed to address the cultural issues of our day is because we tend to focus only on individual ungodliness. As a result, when we encounter the institutional oppression that we've experienced for far too long, we have nothing to say about it and we are unable to show how Scripture addresses it. If the whole window of unrighteousness represents the Great Commission, then we perhaps have withdrawn from three-fourths of it. To affect cultural unrighteousness, we must begin to address every issue we face biblically." Some wise insight from Carl F. Ellis, Jr. in his book "Going Global Beyond the Boundaries: The Role of the Black Church in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ" (2005). Though written primarily to the Black Church in America, this word is for the Church as a whole. May we who are part of the Church begin to take the lead in renewing our communities, and may we do so in a way that is not only culturally relevant but also biblically sound.

In Dilexit Nos, Pope Francis beautifully challenges us in ministry to lead from the heart, where compassion and unity are born. His message reminds us that our work is more than service; it’s about creating spaces where others can feel seen, loved, and understood in God’s presence. May we root ourselves in this love daily, becoming beacons of hope in our communities. Check out the full encyclical here: https://lnkd.in/e73jwkgz
