The lesson that has been hardest for me to learn: there is nothing to prove.

The cross is Gods way of taking away all of our accusations, excuses, and arguments.

Your job is the relentless pursuit of who God made you to be. And anything else you do is sin and you need to repent of it.

On the Sabbath- we are reminded that we are not human doings, but human beings.

When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.

To elevate abstract doctrines and dogmas over living, breathing, embodied experiences of God's love and grace, then, is going the wrong direction. It's taking flesh and turning it back into words.

That may sound a big vague, but what has struck me in city after city is that despite our differences and diversity, there's a common humanity we all share. In many ways we're all searching and longing for the same things.
