Jesus Hung Out With Ragamuffins.

The First Step In Faith Is To Stop Thinking About God At The Time Of Prayer.-

Childlike Surrender And Trust, I Believe, Is The Defining Spirit Of Authentic Discipleship.

To Be Alive Is To Be Broken; To Be Broken Is To Stand In Need Of Grace.

We Have Been Given God In Our Souls And Christ In Our Flesh. We Have The Power To Believe Where Others Deny, To Hope Where Others Despair, To Love Where Others Hurt.

I Want Neither A Terrorist Spirituality That Keeps Me In A Perpetual State Of Fright About Being In Right Relationship With My Heavenly Father Nor A Sappy Spirituality That Portrays God As Such A Benign Teddy Bear That There Is No Aberrant Behavior Or Desire Of Mine That He Will Not Condone. I Want A Relationship With The Abba Of Jesus, Who Is Infinitely Compassionate With My Brokenness And At The Same Time An Awesome, Incomprehensible, And Unwieldy Mystery.
