Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.

Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.

Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.

Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin.

So live in the light of the resurrection and renewal of this world, and of yourself, in a glorious, never-ending, joyful dance of grace.

All forms of love are necessary, and none are to be ignored, but all of us find some forms of love to be more emotionally valuable to us. They are a currency that we find particularly precious, a language that delivers the message of love to our hearts with the most power. Some types of love are more thrilling and fulfilling to us when we receive them.

While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
