The first chapter of "When Helping Hurts" left us with the conclusion that as Christians, we are to seek the restoration of the world. The culmination of all history is leading to that event. While we as humans do not bring about such redemption on our own, and while we will never fully see such redemption until God brings all things to their fullness, we are to pursue restoration of the world, and push back against the evil that currently pervades it. The second and third chapters of the book begin to paint a picture of what this brokenness and restoration look like. |
