Learning to lament

We live in a time of both superficial joy and superficial sadness; we know neither when or how one should apply or the other. Only a God-informed perspective can teach us either. There are some good points on this theme in the non-technical article entitled "Learning to lament" in the following journal: http://www.baptistcenter.net/journals/JBTM_10-2_Fall_2013.pdf

Christ our future glory and present grace

"To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the
life of present grace."
