God Is Enough. That Is The Root

How I Treat A Brother Or Sister From Day To Day, How I React To The Sin-scarred Wino On The Street, How I Respond To Interruptions From People I Dislike, How I Deal With Normal People In Their Normal Confusion On A Normal Day May Be A Better Indication Of My Reverence For Life Than The Antiabortion Sticker On The Bumper Of My Car.

Do The Truth Quietly Without Display.

The Ragamuffin Gospel Says We Can't Lose, Because We Have Nothing To Lose.

[jesus] Matters Because Of What He Brought And What He Still Brings To Ordinary Human Beings, Living Their Ordinary Lives And Coping Daily With Their Surroundings. He Promises Wholeness For Their Lives. In Sharing Our Weaknesses He Gives Us Strength And And Imparts Through His Companionship A Life That Has The Quality Of Eternity." (dallas Willard In Ruthless Trust - Brennan Manning)

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.
