To Be Alive Is To Be Broken;

In Every Encounter We Either Give Life Or We Drain It; There Is No Neutral Exchange.

I Have Been Seized By The Power Of A Great Affection.

Accepting The Reality Of Our Sinfulness Means Accepting Our Authentic Self. Judas Could Not Face His Shadow; Peter Could. The Latter Befriended The Impostor Within; The Former Raged Against Him.

Jesus Reveals A God Who Does Not Demand But Who Gives; Who Does Not Oppress But Who Raises Up; Who Does Not Wound But Who Heals; Who Does Not Condemn But Forgives.

Let Us Be Bold Enough To Ask Ourselves As Christians Whether The Church Of The Lord Jesus In The United States Has Anything To Say To Our Nation And Its Ideologies Of Materialism, Possessiveness, And The Worship Of Financial Security. Are We Courageous Enough To Be A Sign Of Contradiction To Consumerism Through Our Living Faith In Jesus Christ? Are We Committed Enough To His Gospel To Become A Countercurrent To The Drift?
