If my comfort, or anyone’s comfort for that matter, is God’s agenda, then that means that God’s agenda is also someone else’s discomfort.
Christ
I don’t like you, but I really want to love you
The more I try to love people I don’t like, the more I find out that it’s not just hard. It’s actually costly. It requires something of me, something sacrificial.
Authority
It was as if their leaders, the ones who claimed God’s truth, who called them to follow God’s law, who confidently declared who was “in” and who was “out,” didn’t really know God at all.
Judgment
Condemnation blinds. Only love can see.
Treasure
There is but one way to pursue Kingdom life. One reality to which to pledge our allegiance.
