If the Christmas story tells us something is that God is not afraid to come into the mess of our lives. 

Advent: The Season of Grace is upon us, a new and never-ending season.

The idea of entering into a transactional relationship with God is deeply flawed, for we have nothing to bring that God doesn’t already have

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

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