Planting Gardens in Exile | Living In Exile
Jeremiah 29:1-7
“I don’t know if I want to bring a kid into THIS world.”
Build HOUSES and settle down.
“Do not conform.” (Romans 12:2)
You can be present in the world without ASSIMILATING to the ways of the world.
Plant GARDENS.
Gardening is a HOPEFUL act.
Maybe the world might not be different when we have kids, but what if our PRESENCE and our work as parents in the world now meant a different world for our grandkids.
Psalm 105
Get married and have BABIES.
Maybe one of the greatest acts of resistance in our world that you could do is getting MARRIED.
Maybe one of the greatest acts of resistance to our world that you could do is starting a FAMILY.
Deuteronomy 20:5-7
Seek the PEACE and PROSPERITY of the city.
Romans 12:14-17
John 1
Keep hope alive, join the REBELLION.
