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.

Your Life in Me

Lord Jesus,

help me today to walk in the reality of 

Your resurrection and of 

Your life in me. 

Amen.

In Every Created Thing

Praying without ceasing

is finding Christ in
every created thing

All of Time

The death, burial and 

resurrection of Christ 

played out in history but 

affects all of time, from 

eternity to eternity.

The Last Word

Christ has died. Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

Neither sin nor death

get the last word.

A Fine Madness

Divine love is a fine madness.

Why We Must Forgive

We are, each of us, profoundly connected to one another. 

It cannot be undone without undoing the whole world. 

This is why we must forgive 

if we are to be made whole 

and the world put right.

What It Means to be Freely Forgiven

We do not know what it means to be freely forgiven

until we have freely forgiven another.

And there we find the kingdom of God,

the will of God done on earth

as in heaven.

No Shame So Deep

There is no shame so deep

that the love of God

is not deeper still,

pouring itself out,

even on a cross,

for our sake.

Jesus Has Lifted Our Shame

Jesus has lifted our shame and carried it to the cross.

By that shameful death, he put shame itself to death,

for he is pure and righteous,and shame 

had no right to him.

Like Leaven in Bread

In Jesus Christ, God became human.

How can this not but transform

all of humanity,like leaven in bread?

This is how the kingdom of God works,

and the leaven of God’s love.
