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

To say it again, eternal life is less about a kind of time that starts when we die, and more about a quality and vitality of life now in connection to God. Eternal life doesn't start when we die; it starts now. It's not about a life that begins at death; it's about experiencing the kind of life now that can endure and survive even death.

The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.

He will always transcend whatever cages and labels are created to contain and name him, especially the one called "Christianity.

I feel like I've gotten an extraordinary opportunity to experience a sort of collective humanity. If you hug many people in such a short period of days you pick up on a communal energy, almost like feeling a giant heartbeat that everyone is beating together.

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.
