He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon

As I wondered about how to respond to the normality bias so evident in churches today, I thought about the title of the Francis A. Schaeffer book that I read in college, He Is There and He is Not Silent. I believe that name might be adjusted for today as, “He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon.”

The Bubble of Normalcy

The Bubble of Normalcy

Many today live in what I call a “bubble of normalcy” where they feel secure because of exaggerated and unrealistic expectations of either a return to normalcy or of it continuing indefinitely into the future.

Even a great number of believers reside in a world of inflated expectations regarding what lies ahead for them.
