When You Love

When you love, you don’t think about sacrifice.

Becoming More Deeply Aligned

Prayer is not

a way of escaping the

reality of the world

but of becoming more 

deeply aligned 

with it.

Nothing So Broken

The gospel means there is nothing so broken that it cannot be mended, for Christ is making all things new.

Prayer Over Politics

If it comes down to a choice between prayer and politics,

I’ve seen what both can do.

I will choose prayer.

Every time.

Embrace This Holiness

We are holy not by keeping a moral code 

but because God has chosen us in Christ through the Incarnation. 

It is by faith that we embrace this holiness.

All in the Same Boat

Forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us

... for we are all in the same boat.

My Failures and My Successes

Sometimes my failures all gang up and fool me about who I am.

Sometimes my successes do, too.

Faith is Awakening to the Light

Christ is the True Light 

who gives light to everyone in the world. 

Faith is an awakening to the light of 

Christ within us.

The Mystery of the Gospel

Christ is the image of the invisible God,

in whom all the fullness of divinity dwells

in bodily form, and in whom we are made 

complete and become partakers

of the divine nature.

God's Humanity and Our Divinity

Christ is God's humanity and our divinity.

Whatever is True of Christ

The Incarnation means that whatever is true of Christ in his humanity is true of us in ours. But it also means that we partake of his divinity and become by grace what Christ is by nature.

There is No Contest

When the brokenness of sin meets

the faithfulness of Christ?

No contest.

When the power of death meets

the life of Christ?

No contest.

Sin and death were doomed by the Incarnation,

when God became one with us.

Not Moralism but New Life

Christ did not come

to institute a new moralism

but to give us New Life.

Christ is God's Yes and Our Yes

Christ is not only God’s Yes to us,

He is also our Yes to God.

The Beginning of Christian Theology

Christian theology does not begin

with philosophy or theological abstraction but

with the concrete revelation of God

in Jesus Christ through

the Holy Spirit.

Until All the World is Mended

Christ inhabits every broken story 

until all the world is mended.
