Pastor and writer Tim Keller was asked, “It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the challenges that the North American Church is facing. What keeps you encouraged?”
He replied:
Prayer. Meeting God in prayer. Sorry to sound so trite. Prayer and meditation brings joy. God is on His throne-everything’s going to be fine in the end. The new heavens and new earth are coming in which “everything sad is going to come untrue.” Don’t get too bent out of shape because your church didn’t grow this year.
