The Cushion of the Sea
•
Jeff Lehn
Today's episode is about a concept I first heard Arianne preach about several years ago in a sermon at the church we served together in Fort Wayne. The concept is "the cushion of the sea," and it comes from Arthur Pierson. The gist is that there's a layer of the ocean so deep that it remains undisturbed, completely calm, even when the storms and wind are churning the much more shallow waters above it. God's love and light and life are like that. God's peace is like that. It can be an anchor for us, as our lives and the life of the world are facing profound fear, anxiety and violence.
