Jesus is praying for us.  For you.  For me.  Even for those who couldn’t care less that Jesus is praying for them.

The relationship into which Jesus invites us to partake it is not based on a scorecard, but on God’s deep and eternal bond of love.

Christians are to be known by their love, not by the carefully worded statements of faith nor by how many people seat on their sanctuaries.

“Think how much our Father loves you, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!”

The Resurrection is a celebration of love over sin, of life over death, of hope over despair, and of mercy and grace over guilt and shame.

Jesus invites us to take him.  Not to admire him or to touch him.  Not to study him or debate his actions.  But to take him.  To take him.

Bringing hope into our lives is learning to see the broken kernel not as a sign of defeat but of new life.

Like the Samaritan, can we be the right person at the right time?

Evangelism is not to invite others to make them like us, but it is to invite others to join us in becoming all that God intends for us. 

The road to healing and redemption starts at the point where we shut down everything else and we begin to listen to the voice of Jesus.

The Spirit of God is not only with us but in us to impart us wisdom, love, and the power not just to pass, but to do well indeed.

Baptism is not about what we do, but about what God does out of his own goodness and kindness of heart.

Here is the thing – our relationship with God and one another doesn’t depend on us but it is by God’s supreme choosing. 

While the world pushes us to super-size everything, God is not afraid of going small and fragile -- like a Baby.

As long as you are willing to let God to have a shot, things will work out for the good. 

Our Lord’s words are of lasting value. And, therefore, perhaps our Lord’s words should be taken seriously.

At the heart of service is the realization that in those whom we serve in their hour of need, Jesus is present in those whom we are serving.

Hope shines despite the circumstances, and even when there is no sign of progress. Hope is light in the midst of darkness.

Living lives worth of God is nothing less and nothing more than loving to hang out with the Lord.

Silvanus never pretended to be a second-rate number one, but rather accepted his calling as a loyal and first-rate number two.
