About this episode
Our secular age would have you believe that time is a neutral, empty container that we fill with our ambitions, our deadlines, and our entertainments. The modern man's calendar is a chaotic jumble of tax deadlines, Super Bowl Sundays, quarterly reports, and Black Friday sales. It is a calendar that tells a story, and the story is this: man is the center, and his anxieties and appetites are the driving force of history. It is a story that begins with nothing and ends nowhere. Into this frantic and meaningless existence, the Word of God speaks with sovereign authority. God, the Creator of time, is also the Lord of time. He does not leave His people to drift in the meaningless currents of a secular calendar. He establishes a rhythm, a liturgy, that tells the true story of the world: the story of creation, fall, redemption, and glory.
