The Good News Means We Can Stop

For Me The Most Radical Demand Of Christian Faith Lies In Summoning The Courage To Say Yes To The Present Risenness Of Jesus Christ.

By And Large, The Gospel Of Grace Is Neither Proclaimed, Understood, Nor Lived.

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.

Authentic Faith Leads Us To Treat Others With Unconditional Seriousness And To A Loving Reverence For The Mystery Of The Human Personality. Authentic Christianity Should Lead To Maturity, Personality, And Reality. It Should Fashion Whole Men And Women Living Lives Of Love And Communion. False, Manhandled Religion Produces The Opposite Effect. Whenever Religion Shows Contempt Or Disregards The Rights Of Persons, Even Under The Noblest Pretexts, It Draws Us Away From Reality And God.

God Is Enough. That Is The Root Of Peace. When We Start Seeking Something Besides Him, We Lose It.
