Jesus doesn't avoid those who mess up. Jesus runs to those who mess up.

Men of God are those who walk in the fear of the Lord.

Stop going to church everywhere and start belonging to church somewhere.

You and I are stymied in our own creativity. We can only create as sub-creators, and even then our best work is only sub-creation.

God is awesome; he doesn’t need you to be awesome. He wants you to be obedient.

The miracles of Jesus are signs of the right order of things. Jesus was not so much turning things upside down as turning them rightside up or, at least, giving his followers glimpses of the rightside up. The miracles of healing, deliverance, provision, and resurrection all reveal that God, through Jesus, is making all things new, that he is restoring what once was unbroken.
