Hope does not need to silence the rumblings of crisis to be hope.

The church meets to imagine what our lives can be like if the gospel were true.

When serious people of good faith disagree, they've got to go back into the narratives and come at it again. One of the problems in the church is that people are not willing to do that. People have arrived at a place where they think they have got the answer.

The power of the future lies not in the hands of those who believe in scarcity but of those who trust God's abundance.

Sabbath, in the first instance, is not about worship. It is about work stoppage. It is about withdrawal from the anxiety system of Pharaoh, the refusal to let one’s life be defined by production and consumption and the endless pursuit of private well-being.

The task of prophetic ministry is to nurture, nourish, and evoke a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception of the dominant culture around us.

Sabbath is not simply the pause that refreshes. It is the pause that transforms.
