Scripture tells us all of creation will be shaken so that only unshakable things will remain. The world as we know it is shaking. The old certainties, the old institutions, the old corruption. The old world is dying, and a new one is struggling to be born. In the rubble of this shaken world. You'll find the stones, the builders rejected, the people who have been told they're too poor, too different, too young to matter. (19:21–19:27)
