Believe In Miracles. And Live In A

I Always Tell Our Community That We Should Attract The People Jesus Attracted And Frustrate The People Jesus Frustrated. It's Certainly Never Our Goal To Frustrate, But It Is Worth Noting That The People Who Were Constantly Agitated Were The Self-righteous, Religious Elite, The Rich, And The Powerful. But The People Who Were Fascinated By Him, By His Love And Grace, Were Folks Who Were Already Wounded And Ostracized — Folks Who Didn't Have Much To Lose, Who Already Knew Full Well That They Were Broken And Needed A Savior.

Christianity Can Be Built Around Isolating Ourselves From Evildoers And Sinners, Creating A Community Of Religious Piety And Moral Purity. That’s The Christianity I Grew Up With. Christianity Can Also Be Built Around Joining With The Broken Sinners And Evildoers Of Our World Crying Out To God, Groaning For Grace. That’s The Christianity I Have Fallen In Love With.

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

We've Heard From People All Around The World, Telling Us That This Is Their Reality. People Need A Way To Connect The Sometimes Really Hard Reality In Which They Wake Up Each Morning With The Movement Of The Spirit.

Most Good Things Have Been Said Far Too Many Times And Just Need To Be Lived.
