Whatever else it is, the kingdom of God is decidedly not a call to violent revolution.

For me, prayer is not so much me setting out a shopping list of requests for God to consider as it is a way of keeping company with God.

Prayer is - keeping company with God.

Some who attempt prayer never have the sense of anyone listening on the other end. They blame themselves for doing it wrong.... Prayer requires the faith to believe that God listens.

God does not seem impressed by size or power or wealth. Faith is what he wants, and the heroes who emerge are heroes of faith, not strength or wealth.

Indeed we are all in peril if the flawed messenger invalidates the message.

Christian faith is... basically about love and being loved and reconciliation. These things are so important, they're foundational and they can transform individuals, families.
