One of the oldest aches in the bones of humanity is loneliness. I mean it's one of the things that goes way back loneliness is not good for the world.

Times change. God doesn’t, but times do. We learn and grow, and the world around us shifts, and the Christian faith is alive only when it is listening, morphing, innovating, letting go of whatever has gotten in the way of Jesus and embracing whatever will help us be more and more the people God wants us to be.
