By Dan Wilt

Walt Thiessen says: Look at Jesus life. Cynicism is a false substitute for proper Christian anger, lament and faithful action.

Young friend Zoe Fitch says, “Cynicism is a gateway drug to everything nasty.”

The goal of the Christian life to extract the precious from that deemed to be worthless, to extract the beautiful from the broken.

These eyes see the ImageBearers. These eyes see the Created Order in its beauty and protect it. These eyes see a God who is loving, and exerts justice as a last resort.
