Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.

We need to 'go out,' then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the 'outskirts' where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters.

God understands us, He waits for us. He doesn't get tired of forgiving us. If we repent and go to him with a truly open heart.

The joy of the Gospel is for all people: no one can be excluded.

Do not be content to live a mediocre Christian life: walk with determination along the path of holiness.

Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so. God is not a demiurge [demigod] or a magician, but the Creator who gives being to all entities. Evolution in nature is not opposed to the notion of Creation, because evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve.
