Pessimism Drops The Curtain On Tomorrow.

The Classical Error Of Historical Christianity Is That We Have Never Started With The Value Of The Person. Rather, We Have Started From The 'unworthiness Of The Sinner', And That Starting Point Has Set The Stage For The Glorification Of Human Shame In Christian Theology.

In Difficult Times, People Too Often Lose The Ability To Face The Future Optimistically. They Begin To Think About Their Tomorrow's Negatively. They Forget That The Tough Times Will Pass.
