Are you considering a career in church work? Rev. Matt Peeples — one of our Student Recruitment Ambassadors (SRAs) — shares some advice as you think about a future church work career! “Ministry looks a little different in every context. Don’t look for a place that is going to give you a one-size-fits-all solution.”

#MeyerMinute for May 12

A line from Psalm 11 kept popping into my head yesterday, “Flee like a bird to your mountain.” Several things yesterday took my mood down, let the air out of my hope. Being a news junkie, partisan politics discouraged me. Being a prof, students saying they were near burnout at the end of the semester discouraged me. What’s the point of any of what we do?

“The sounds of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.” That line from Simon and Garfunkel has always told me that people of faith need to look and read outside of the Bible so that we better believe what is in the Bible. Simon Critchley’s book, “Tragedy, the Greeks, and Us” got me to thinking about “Flee like a bird to your mountain.” Critchley called up a comedy by Aristophanes, “The Clouds.” In it birds, fed up with humans, set up their own country in the sky, “Cloud-cuckoo-land.”

It’s nonsense, of course, and so is fantasizing about escaping the dysfunction all around us. But then this from Critchley: “The world is a tragicomedy defined by war, corruption, vanity, and greed, and entirely without the capacity for redemption” (267).

Aha! Why expect heaven on earth? If politicians deceive us that their promises will save us, if preachers lure us to expect self-satisfaction and happiness here and now, no wonder we’re disappointed, and then come anger and bitterness. This world has had thousands of years to get better and hasn’t. Yes, little bursts of better, like coming out of COVID, but long term? No redemption in this world. And I came back happily this morning to the Word. “The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. The Lord tests the righteous .... The upright shall behold face” (Ps. 111:4, 5, 7). “You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68).
