The church is not a religious community of worshippers of Christ but is Christ himself who has taken form among people.

The earthly form of Christ is the form that died on the cross. The image of God is the image of Christ crucified. It is to this image that the life of the disciples must be conformed; in other words, they must be conformed to his death (Phil 3.10, Rom 6.4) The Christian life is a life of crucifixion (Gal 2.19) In baptism the form of Christ's death is impressed upon his own. They are dead to the flesh and to sin, they are dead to the world, and the world is dead to them (Gal 6.14). Anybody living in the strength of Christ's baptism lives in the strength of Christ's death.

Where is love more glorified than where she dwells in the midst of her enemies?

Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won where the way leads to the cross.

Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.

Let him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.
