The Crisis of Adventist Imagination

Share

The real crisis isn’t in the world.
It’s in our imagination.

If every sermon, headline, and prophecy paints future darkness, we forget that “Let there be light” was the first word of creation.

God began history with vision —
He imagined restoration before He spoke it into being.

That same Spirit still calls us to imagine before we act.

If all we preach are beasts and endings,
we’ll raise a generation waiting for collapse.

But if we also preach the healing of the nations,
we’ll raise believers in the New Earth.

Hope is not naïveté.

It’s Adventist realism —
the conviction that the Kingdom is already breaking through.

To dream redemptively is to join the Creator’s work.

To design in faith is to anticipate His return.
