Childlike surrender and trust, I believe, is the defining spirit of authentic discipleship.

This is the God of the gospel of grace. A God who, out of love for us, sent the only Son He ever had wrapped in our skin. He learned how to walk, stumbled and fell, cried for His milk, sweated blood in the night, was lashed with a whip and showered with spit, was fixed to a cross, and died whispering forgiveness on us all.

One of my realizations in such an earthy atmosphere was that many of the burning theological issues in the church were neither burning nor theological.

The litmus test of our love for God is our love of neighbor.

Quia amasti me, fecisti me amabilem. (In loving me, you made me lovable.)
