Paul’s vision is of a world where the power of the cross can abolish the distinctions between people.

Jesus tells us today that we will constantly be growing into God’s truth. That’s the gift of the Trinity. It’s the practice of Pride.

The very first gift of the Spirit is both the honoring of difference and the bridging of difference.

Costly unity means fighting for the right not to bear arms. It means living in such a way that creates a world where we default to love.

Representation is a picture of power. It can empower, or it can reinforce already established power.

How are we to know what should guide our belief and actions? Not even our Bible is clear. I can only tell you what I do: I prioritize Jesus.

Part of being a faithful Christian is learning to hear God's voice more and more, and that takes practice.

How are you sharing the gifts God gave you? Where are you giving them? How far do your gifts reach?

And now, once a year, after we have waited in the dark theater of Lent to Good Friday, we celebrate the gift He gave us.

This Lent, as you wander your wilderness, I invite you to question God, to challenge God. God can handle it.

Lent is about paying attention to what may tempt us away from God’s love and God’s call for our lives, and then practicing overcoming it.

My shame almost killed me, until one day in prayer I heard God say to me, “You, Bob, are my beloved son, in whom I am well-pleased.”

Our faith liberates in love. The Spirit confounds any attempts to contain it within the small, greedy thinking of domination.

Jesus gives us hope that we may share that hope.

This pandemic has made us question things that we once took for granted. The things we actually need. How fast we actually need to go.
