No man preaches his sermon well to others if he does not first preach it to his own heart.

Perhaps the transformation of the disciples of Jesus is the greatest evidence of all for the resurrection.

The Christian community is a community of the cross, for it has been brought into being by the cross, and the focus of its worship is the Lamb once slain, now glorified. So the community of the cross is a community of celebration, a eucharistic community, ceaselessly offering to God through Christ the sacrifice of our praise and thanksgiving. The Christian life is an unending festival. And the festival we keep, now that our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us, is a joyful celebration of his sacrifice, together with a spiritual feasting upon it.

God continues to speak through what He has spoken.

God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.

The gospel is NOT preached if Christ is not preached.

When Jesus is truly our Lord, He directs our lives and we gladly obey Him. Indeed, we bring every part of our lives under His lordship - our home and family, our sexuality and marriage, our job or unemployment, our money and possessions, our ambitions and recreations.
