God’s greatest places of action is hidden. Hidden from the eyes of the socially powerful. The reach of God’s action touches everything, but the center of it is on the margins.

In his gospel, Luke lists all the political & religious leaders in power & then notes how the word of God bypassed them and came to John in the wilderness.
The locus of God’s presence & activity is not found in the corridors of great power.

The goal is not to “do it right” but to keep showing up. As you do so, you’ll find that 10-15 minutes is much too short a time to be with God in this way.

But when we understand that salvation is about belong to the Day— the new dawn ushered in by Jesus’s resurrection— we recognize that we live in a different time zone.
We belong to the future.
English
We think of salvation as being saved from a place— hell or earth.
But Paul speaks of salvation as being saved from a time— this present evil age.
Even though this present age continues, Christians belong to the Age to Come. We've live in a different time zone.

This great little book from Ronald Rolheiser was a wonderful surprise. It’s full of wisdom on living like Jesus in the everyday, ordinary-ness of life. instagram.com/p/CRbMy79LTO0/…

I understand why people have been so full of praise for Gentle and Lowly. It’s such a paradigm-shifting, eye-opening book about God’s love for us, right where we are. Well worth taking the time to read slowly. instagram.com/p/CQjMTFtrX3S/…
