a world in turmoil

“Cue the UN’s grand revelation: the planet’s circling the drain. Thanks, Captain Obvious—like we couldn’t tell from the wars, wildfires, and politicians auditioning for reality TV. Honestly, the only surprise is that anyone needed a press conference to confirm the apocalypse.”

Disturbing reports in the news

Every day the news brings more upsetting stories, such as

• Disease and pandemics
• Natural disasters
• Poverty and hunger
• Pollution and global warming
• Crime, violence, and corruption
• Wars and armed conflicts

We clearly need a world that is far better than the one we see now.

The better world we long for

Many of us dream of a world where there is

• Perfect health
• Safety and security for everyone
• Plenty of food for all
• A clean and balanced environment
• Justice that treats everyone fairly
• Lasting global peace

We talk about a better world, but we also need to think about what we really mean by that. What will happen to the world we know today? How can we live now so that we can be part of that better world?

So how do we live today in a way that fits that future? It starts with small, deliberate choices. Choosing kindness when convenience would be easier. Caring for the earth by cutting waste and treating creation with respect. Standing beside people who are pushed aside instead of looking away.

These simple acts may appear minor, but together they shape what comes next. A better world does not grow from grand political speeches; it has been promised by God, our creator
