Anger

Solomon describes the world as he sees it in Ecclesiastes in his now famous litany of how the world moves. There is a time to be born and a time to die, a time to sow and a time to reap, a time to kill and a time to heal. Solomon is not prescribing what is OK, he's describing what is. With so much loss, death, and division, we as the believing community of Christ want to be a part of the healing, but how can we give the world that which we do not have? When the bank comes back on our virtues with "insufficient funds" we know that vices have taken over and we have nothing to offer a thirsty world. However, with each of the deadly sins, anger, vainglory, sloth, avarice, envy, gluttony, and lust, there is Christ centered, and a communal invitation to healing, freedom, and unity. Join Common Ground over the next couple months as plead with Christ for A Time to Heal!
