The rule of love, I say again, is not an optional extra. It is the very essence of what we [Christians] are about

I work in a very tough area of Britain. There is not much hope sociologically where I live and work, they're all sorts of conditions of poverty and deprivation and so on, I really do believe that the message of the kingdom of God is for places like this.

Logic cannot comprehend love; so much the worse for logic.

Christian holiness consists not of trying as hard as we can to be good but of learning to live in the new world created by Easter, the new world we publicly entered in our baptism. There are many parts of the world we can't do anything about except pray. But there is one part of the world, one part of physical reality, that we can do something about, and that is the creature each of us call "myself.

If you have never felt or known the sheer power and strength of God's love, take another look at Jesus dying on the cross.

But if Christians don’t get Jesus right, what chance is there that other people will bother much with him?

Worship is humble and glad, worship forgets itself in remembering God; worship celebrates the truth as God's truth, not its own.
