"The Next Big Thing is not another Pentecost or another apostle or
another political or social cause. It is Christ's return. In demanding
an immediate satisfaction of our heart's longing, we replace this event
with manufactured spectacles. Ironically, the most faithful Christian
life is one that embraces a pilgrimage rather than a conquest. The
ordinary life - sustainable discipleship and disciple-making - is the
order of the day, as we live each moment in eager expectation of The
Next Big Thing on God's schedule."
- From "Ordinary" by Michael Horton
I've never been more ready for the next big event.
