This Is Our Time Quotes

“if your view of the future depends on an irreversible movement toward the worst possible scenario, you must not let your posture become purely defensive.

The truth is, every generation believes that things are getting worse when compared to the past. Every generation adopts, at some level, a variation of the myth of decline or the myth of progress. Every generation of Christians believes they are in the last days of this world. And every generation, so far, has been wrong.”
