teaching writing caring
What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future. These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly, a little more bearable, until the day when we leave it behind altogether. They are part of what we may call building for God’s kingdom.
jesus mean escaping
Christ's resurrection doesn't mean escaping from the world; it means mission to the world based on Jesus's lordship over the world.
taken
God has taken us utterly seriously. How can we not do the same with him?
atheist believe thinking
Just as many who were brought up to think of God as a bearded old gentleman sitting on a cloud decided that when they stopped believing in such a being they had therefore stopped believing in God, so many who were taught to think of hell as a literal underground location full of worms and fire...decided that when they stopped believing in that, so they stopped believing in hell. The first group decided that because they couldn't believe in childish images of God, they must be atheists. The second decided that because they couldn't believe in childish images of hell, they must be universalists.
jesus powerful lying
The power of the gospel lies[...] in the powerful announcement that God is God, that Jesus is Lord, that the powers of evil have been defeated, that God's new world has begun.
jesus dying looks
If you have never felt or known the sheer power and strength of God's love, take another look at Jesus dying on the cross.
jesus believe keys
I believe we face the question: if not now, then when? And if we are grasped by this vision, we may also hear the question: If not us, then who? And if the gospel of Jesus is not the key to this task, then what is?
religious jesus way
Jesus of Nazareth ushers in not simply a new religious possibility, not simply a new ethic or a new way of salvation, but a new creation.
humble remembering-god worship
Worship is humble and glad, worship forgets itself in remembering God; worship celebrates the truth as God's truth, not its own.
tyrants covenant weapons
Death is the ultimate weapon of the tyrant; resurrection does not make a covenant with death, it overthrows it.
love-is creator-god self
Swords don't glorify the creator-God. Love does. Self-giving love, best of all.
jesus healing keys
the life of Jesus recapitulates key elements in the earlier story of Israel. For a moment, as Jesus stands on the mountain giving the famous sermon, he is Moses. For a moment, answering his critics about his actions on the sabbath, he is David. For a moment, as he calls and names the twelve disciples, he is perhaps Jacob, bringing the twelve patriarchs into the world. For a moment, healing the sick and raising the dead, he is Elijah or Elisha. And so on. In the transfiguration he actually meets Moses and Elijah.
humans selection human-beings
All history involves selection, and it is always human beings who do the selecting.
suffering victory church
The call of the gospel is for the church to implement the victory of God in the world through suffering love.
