Worship is love on its knees before the beloved; just as mission is love on its feet to serve the beloved

I didn't write much until I turned 40. Up until then I felt constrained by a sense of the discipline of New Testament studies and a sense of the ruling elite in theology and biblical studies.

The kingdom that Jesus preached and lived was all about a glorious, uproarious, absurd generosity.

People often get upset when you teach them what is in the Bible rather than what they presume is in the Bible.

Those in whom the Spirit comes to live are God's new Temple. They are, individually and corporately, places where heaven and earth meet.

Justice and beauty are central to God's new world and should be central to our work. Together they frame the good news of Jesus.

The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you're now invited to belong to it.
