There Is Real Value In These Local

Most Of The Ugliness In The Human Narrative Comes From A Distorted Quest To Possess Beauty. Coveting Begins With Appreciating Blessings: Murder Begins With A Hunger For Justice. Lust Begins With A Recognition Of Beauty. Gluttony Begins When Our Enjoyment Of The Delectable Gifts Of God Starts To Consume Us. Idolatry Begins When Our Seeing A Reflection Of God In Something Beautiful Leads To Our Thinking That The Beautiful Image Bearer Is Worthy Of Worship.

The Time Has Come For A New Kind Of Conversation, A New Kind Of Christianity, A New Kind Of Revolution.

Perhaps There Is No More Dangerous Place For A Christian To Be Than In Safety And Comfort, Detached From The Suffering Of Others.

Liturgy And Worship Were Never Meant To Be Confined To The Cathedrals And Sanctuaries. Liturgy At Its Best Can Be Performed Like A Circus Or Theater - Making The Gospel Visible As A Witness To The World Around Us.

Too Often We Just Do What Makes Sense To Us And Ask God To Bless It.
