Jesus comes for sinners, for those outcast...and those caught up in squalid choices and failed dreams.

Ruthless trust ultimately comes down to this: faith in the person of Jesus and hope in his promise.

The spirituality of wonder knows the world is charged with grace, that while sin and war, disease and death are terribly real, God's loving presence and power in our midst are even more real.

Though it is true that the church must always dissociate itself from sin, it can never have any excuse for keeping any sinner at a distance.

In human beings, love is a quality, a high-prized virtue; in God, love is His identity.

The deepest desire of our hearts is for union for God. God created us for union with himself. This is the original purpose of our lives.

Jesus reveals a God who does not demand but who gives; who does not oppress but who raises up; who does not wound but who heals; who does not condemn but forgives.
