We are Christians... What does it mean to be a Christian? What does it mean to be human? We sincerely know. We are like Saul and Barnabas, standing at the brink, taking leave of the past. Heavy of heart before the unknown. Our God, now as then, does not show His hand. History is always larger than the men who are called to live in time; it confounds and bewilders them. It is too large to be encompassed, too dark for our eyes, too hot to handle. The lack of resources before the job to be done is simply appalling. Yet men take ship; in spite of all, men believe. Which is to say that the dizzying gap that separates the task at hand, and the skills men can offer, is closed only by men of faith.
