Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.

Where we connect the Bible to your life,

in the time it takes to get to work.

I'm Patrick Miller. I'm a millennial. That means that I grew up in a

generation of dreamers, a generation of people who wanted to change the world,

people who believe they could change the world, a generation that's become most known

for its willingness to stand up against what it sees as wrong. Of course, that's how we thought

about ourselves when we were teenagers and in our 20s, but I can't say that it's really

panned out. I mean, maybe that's something everybody feels in their 20s. What I can say now in my mid-30s is that the world is not

a noticeably better place than when I was 19. Instead of activism much of my

generation has practiced slactivism. We post things on social media to show we're for

a cause and we think that we've done something to change the world

but the truth is that we've just mostly virtue signaled and the causes many in my

generation have fought for if I'm gonna be, they're confused at best, and terribly misguided at worst.

You see, there's a cost to dreaming.

There's a cost to having a vision, if, if, if, the dream isn't followed by action.

Ideas are lighter than air.

Actions come with a heavy cost.

An Ecclesiasti 7, the preacher, who's the author of Ecclesiasties,

well the preacher reflects on the way dreams can distract us from everyday reality.

He shows us that you can't take the measure of a dream at its inception.

You can only measure a dream at the end by what really happened.
