The church is, above all, a place to receive grace: it brings forgiven people together with the aim of equipping us to dispense grace to others.

Some things just have to be believed to be seen.

At the heart of the gospel is a God who deliberately surrenders to the wild, irresistable power of love.

Parents learn the uses of power and its limits. They can insist on certain outward behavior but cannot change inner attitudes. They can require obedience but not goodness - and certainly not love.

What you and I think about Jesus and how we respond to Him will determine our destiny for all eternity.

Goodness cannot be imposed externally, from the top down; it must grow internally, from the bottom up.

Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.
