In post-Christendom, the church is that community of people who look to discover what God is actively doing in the world around them and then join themselves to that work. The church is that community of people gathered around Jesus Christ in order to participate in his life and incarnate it into the context where he has placed them. ↗

I was delighted to see him growing more cautious and skeptical about what he heard, especially when he heard it from someone in apparent authority. I think that is fundamental to a good education. And if it comes back to bite me from time to time, that's a price worth paying. ↗

I'm beginning to think that to hope isn't the same as to expect something. To hope is to believe that life is an acceptable chaos. (h.5) ↗

God does not patch up the old life, or make certain repairs on the old life; He gives a new life, through the new birth. ↗
