Christ bears the wounds of the church, his body, just as he bore the wounds of crucifixion. I sometimes wonder which have hurt worse.

You can know the law by heart without knowing the heart of it

Prayer is a place where God and humans meet.

Grace is heartfelt, tinged with love, a spillover gift of the God who extended undeserved favor toward us.

I go to church as an expression of my need for God and for God's family.

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

Grace is free only because the giver himself has borne the cost.
