You're here to be LIGHT... Shine! Be generous with your lives.

Christians don't simply learn or study or use Scripture; we assimilate it, take it into our lives in such a way that it gets metabolized into acts of love, cups of cold water, missions into all the world, healing and evangelism and justice in Jesus' name, hands raised in adoration of the Father, feet washed in company with the Son.

Religion is a very scary thing, because a pastor is in a position of power. And if you use that power badly, you ruin people's lives, and you ruin your own life.

Waiting means going about our assigned tasks, confident that God will provide the meaning and the conclusions.

Pity can be nearsighted and condescending; shared suffering can be dignifying and life-changing.

If we get our information from the biblical material there is no doubt that the Christian life is a dancing, leaping, daring life.

When we submit our lives to what we read in scripture, we find that we are not being led to see God in our stories but our stories in God's. God is the larger context and plot in which our stories find themselves.
