That Which Is Denied Cannot Be Healed.

The Kingdom Is Not An Exclusive, Well-trimmed Suburb With Snobbish Rules About Who Can Live There. No, It Is For A Larger, Homelier, Less Self-conscious Caste Of People Who Understand They Are Sinners Because They Have Experienced The Yaw And Pitch Of Moral Struggle.

Our Culture Says That Ruthless Competition Is The Key To Success. Jesus Says That Ruthless Compassion Is The Purpose Of Our Journey.

The Love Of Christ Embraces All Without Exception. Fire Of Love, Crazy Over What You Have Made. Oh, Divine Madman. (prayer Of Catherine Siena) Simply Do The Next Thing In Love. I Have No Sense Of Myself Apart From You. Quia Amasti Me, Fecisti Me Amabilem. (in Loving Me, You Made Me Lovable.)

The Christ Within Who Is Our Hope Of Glory Is Not A Matter Of Theological Debate Or Philosophical Speculation. He Is Not A Hobby, A Part-time Project, A Good Theme For A Book, Or A Last Resort When All Human Effort Fails. He Is Our Life, The Most Real Fact About Us. He Is The Power And Wisdom Of God Dwelling Within Us.

Jesus Was Victorious Not Because He Never Flinched, Talked Back, Or Questioned, But Having Flinched, Talked Back, And Questioned, He Remained Faithful.
