Who We Really Are

The Incarnation means that the more we see Jesus,

the more we discover who we really are.

Found By God, One With Christ

The gospel is not that we must find God but that God has found us.

It is not that we must make our way to God but that

God has become one with us in Jesus Christ.

The Difference Between Heaven and Hell

Hell is self-seeking, self-centered love.

Heaven is self-giving, other-centered love.

A Consuming Fire

The wrath of God is the love of God burning away in us

whatever does not belong, whatever is harmful to us.

For God is love, and love is a consuming fire.

If We Do Not Forgive Each Other

If we do not forgive one another,

we do not forgive ourselves,

for we are all connected.

Christ’s Faithfulness, Our Peace

Nothing depends on our faithfulness.

Everything depends on Christ’s faithfulness.

In that is our rest, our peace,

our freedom.

Grace is Divine Hospitality

Grace is the hospitality of Father, Son and Holy Spirit 

bringing us all into Their divine fellowship.

Trinitarian Grace

Grace is the mutually self-giving nature

of Father, Son and Holy Spirit

extended toward us.

The Wholeness of Christ Heals the World

The wholeness of Christ

judges the brokenness of the world

with healing.

In the Hands of a Loving God

The gospel is not about sinners in the hands of an angry God 

but about sinners in the hands of a Loving God, 

about God in the hands of angry sinners, 

and how God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, 

not counting our sins against us.

The Calm Peace of My Soul

Lord Jesus,

you are my rest,

the calm peace of my soul.

It is a good day.

In Christ Through the Incarnation

We are in Christ not by anything we have done, not even by our faith, but through the Incarnation of Christ.

Put Right With God

In Jesus Christ, all humankind is put right with God.

Through the Incarnation of Christ

Though the God of Creation is fundamentally different from Creation,

yet through the Incarnation, God has become part of His Creation,

to suffer with Creation in a way that is completely redemptive.

From Brokenness to Profound Healing

God can take the worst our broken humanity has to offer

and turn it to profound healing and blessing.

Behold the Cross.

Faith Looks Like Following

Faith in Jesus, who is The Way,

looks like following.
