Every generation has to ask difficult questions about what does it mean to follow Jesus.

We live in the midst of a creation that is groaning.

You can be living in a big house, driving a nice car, going on exotic vacations and still be empty inside, crippled with fear and dread.

At the center of the Christian tradition since the first church have been a number who insist that history is not tragic, hell is not forever, and love, in the end, wins and all will be reconciled to God.

The fundamental story arc of the Bible is God is passionate about rescuing this world, restoring it, renewing it.

Faith can take many different forms and expressions.

One truth is that suffering raises profound questions with the universe. The other truth is that grace, gift and generosity also raise profound questions.
