... we need to reclaim the "goodnewness" of the gospel, and the best place to start is to rediscover the good news ourselves.

One Harlem preacher likens us to the pink plastic spoons at Baskin Robbins: we give the world a foretaste of what lies ahead, the vision of the Biblical prophets. In a world gone astray we should be activity demonstrating here and now God's will for the planet.

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.

Grace means that God already loves us as much as an infinite God can possibly love.

True faith does not so much attempt to manipulate God to do our will as it does to position us to do his will.

Jesus' response to suffering people and to "nobodies" provides a glimpse into the heart of God. God is not the unmoved Absolute, but rather the Loving One who draws near.

Christians get very angry toward other Christians who sin differently than they do.
