"What subverts faith in God is not atheism or secularism, but the globalisation of superficiality. Drowned in a flood of triviality, fake news, alternative facts and false promises, the human imagination is confused and broken, unable to concentrate, to treasure a moment, or to find truth in silence or the words of a wise teacher."
To realise the significance of Advent, Emmanuel, God with us, requires a self-denying ordinance; abstention from superficiality, triviality, untruth and broken promises. Advent happens at all because God kept his promise, and spoke truth that is light in darkness, and peace on earth. Imagine that!
