The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.

God loves and defends those with the least economic and social power, and so should we.

In the church we have to deliberately let ourselves be transparent and accountable to others. We're a family.

In the end, we love people into belief. We do not argue them into belief.
