We Are Enveloped In Peace, Whether Or

The Ragamuffin Rabble Are The Unsung Assembly Of Saved Sinners Who Are Little In Their Own Sight, Conscious Of Their Brokenness And Powerlessness Before God, And Who Cast Themselves On His Mercy. Startled By The Extravagant Love Of God, They Do Not Require Success, Fame, Wealth, Or Power To Validate Their Worth. Their Spirit Transcends All Distinctions Between The Powerful And Powerless, Educated And Illiterate, Billionaires And Bag Ladies, High-tech Geeks And Low-tech Nerds, Males And Females, The Circus And The Sanctuary.

Hope Your Wildest Hopes, Dream Your Maddest Dreams, Imagine Your Most Fantastic Fantasies. Where Your Hopes And Your Dreams And Your Imagination Leave Off, The Love Of My Heavenly Father Only Begins.

In Every Encounter We Either Give Life Or We Drain It; There Is No Neutral Exchange.

Don't Try To Understand It. You Won't Succeed. Don't Try To See It. You Can't. Try To Live It, And You Will Be Living Out Of The Center.

If We Maintain The Open-mindedness Of Children, We Challenge Fixed Ideas And Established Structures, Including Our Own. We Listen To People In Other Denominations And Religions. We Don't Find Demons In Those With Whom We Disagree. We Don't Cozy Up To People Who Mouth Our Jargon. If We Are Open, We Rarely Resort To Either-or: Either Creation Or Evolution, Liberty Or Law, Sacred Or Secular, Beethoven Or Madonna. We Focus On Both-and, Fully Aware That God's Truth Cannot Be Imprisoned In A Small Definition.
