The modern life seems to be characterized by a surplus of activity and a dearth of meaning, lived in a constant fury but without an abiding passion.  This seems to be as true for followers of Christ as it is for those without that promise of life and hope. 

So we ask that you imagine with us for the next few weeks what life could be if we lived for something greater than tomorrow’s deadlines, more lasting than the world’s “stuff,” beyond our own kingdoms, and focused instead on the purposes God has for our lives, our churches, and our world.

Dan Hall reminds us that God has had these purposes from the very beginning.  It is we who have misunderstood it, been distracted from it, and lost it in the routine of our lives.  The time is now for the people of God to renew their partnership with Him in His passion and for His purposes in the earth.
