Make a New Normal

  • No Debate

    This teaching isn’t about word vs. action. It’s about a relationship with God that may begin in one spot, but ends in trust.

  • The ministry of service, justice, and love has long been far less important to us than power, security and certainty.

  • Jesus’s images often have us looking in the opposite direction. Usually because we’re looking the wrong way.

  • In a parable about laborers in the vineyard, Jesus shows us that to see the Kingdom, we have to look differently.

  • One of the flaws in our thinking is that we see ourselves as needing to be condemned by the one who wouldn’t.

  • Jesus’s teachings on forgiveness aren’t just hard because we don’t want to do it. We like doing the opposite.
