All Is Not Well
“The same God who looks upon my soul and declares my fundamental condition to be ‘well’ for all eternity looks down on oppressive structures and impoverished cities and war-torn villages and grieves over the fact that all is not well in his creation. Someday all will be well—when Jesus declares that all things have been made new. But that day is not yet here. And so all who know that it is well with their souls must actively work toward the day when all will be well again in God’s larger creation. And this enterprise we evangelicals have often failed to pursue with any sustained sense of urgency.”
