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

Everybody is following somebody. Everybody has faith in something and somebody. We are all believers.

For many people, God is primitive, behind, trying to drag everything back to some prehistoric era as opposed to spirit, force, love, drawing us into a better future, which to me is - that story has done something in me and I've seen it do things in other people.

Doctrine is a wonderful servant and a horrible master.

No one has the last word other than God.

Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.

The first word about you is that you received this life.
