" Like those preachers who have gone before us, we too are called to preach the unseen things of Christ in the midst of the rival interpretations of philosophical challenges (Acts 17:18). We are neither the first nor the last to preach amid climates of philosophical doubts; we too preach the unseen things of Christ in the midst of the rival interpretations of world religions (Acts 14:12–13; 28:1–11). We are neither the first nor the last to preach in climates with multiple deities and faith practices; we too preach the unseen things of Christ in the midst of the rival interpretations of secular and political thought (Acts 25:19). We are neither the first nor the last to preach amid government activity and secular assumptions; we too preach the unseen things of Christ amid the tangible acts of injustice and the senseless acts of random tragedy (Luke 13:1–5). Ours is not the first generation to preach amid terror and pain. "
