What Counts

What counts, 

the apostle Paul said, 

is faith expressing itself through love. 

God is love, and faith in God 

looks like 

love.

The Ability to Pour Himself Out for Love

The glory of God 

is not found in the will to power 

but in the will to love. 

The greatness of God 

is not found in the ability to take 

but in the ability to 

pour Himself out 

for love.

Wherever the Will of God is Done

Wherever the will
of God is done on earth
as in heaven, there we find the
kingdom of God. And there
heaven and earth have
become one.

Jesus knew how to multiply 

five loaves and two fish 

to feed five thousand. 

He knows how to multiply 

his body and his blood 

to feed us all.

Joining Together Heaven and Earth

The Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ

and the Descent of the Holy Spirit

at Pentecost join together

Heaven and Earth.

The Manifestation of Divine Love

God is love.

The will of God being done
on earth as it is in heaven

is nothing else but

the manifestation

of love.

The Will of God in One Word

The will of God for you and me,

in one word: Love ...

to love and

be loved.

Do Good and Leave the Results to God

Do good and leave the results to God 

who knows how to redeem 

every situation.

Overcome Evil with Good

We do not overcome evil with evil ~

or even with the lesser of two evils. 

We overcome evil with good.

A Prayer for the Many Times I Stray

A prayer for the many times I stray from the way of Christ, who is love:

Lord Jesus, I am your 

little lost sheep. 

Come find me. 

Find us all. 

Amen.

The Gospel in Five Words

The Gospel in five words:

Christ is making

everything new.

Forgiving and Being Forgiven

The kingdom of God

is a kingdom of forgiving

and being forgiven.

Are you ready

for that?

Christ and the Authority of the Old Testament

Christ said that the Law and the Prophets are about Him.

The authority of the Old Testament, then,

is in the witness it bears to Christ.

The Deep Connection of Our Humanity

If we are all connected by our humanity, 

how can any of us be truly made whole 

unless all of us are made whole?

Lord, Come Be My Help

Lord Jesus,

I am helpless.

Come be my help.

Amen.

Christ’s Love is Everywhere Present

Christ is everywhere present, 

and wherever He is, 

He is love.
