Love deems this world worth rescuing.

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will make sense only in reverse.

Prayer is not a means of removing the unknown and predictable elements in life, but rather a way of including the unknown and unpredictable in the outworking of the grace of God in our lives.

We, Jesus' followers, are the agents assigned to carry out God's will on earth. Too easily we expect God to do something for us when instead God wants to do it through us.

Unless we love natural goods - sex, alcohol, food, money, success, power - in the way God intended, we become their slaves, as any addict can attest.

We whine about things we have little control over; we lament what we believe ought to be changed.

God must love art because most of the Bible is expressed in the form of story or poetry.
