“Ash Wednesday is full of joy.... The source of all sorrow is the illusion that of ourselves we are anything but dust. God is all our joy and in him our dust can become splendor.” — Thomas Merton

A good word from @barrydjones calling us to follow Jesus and love others as he did. Jesus recognized that the world is made up of neighbors and enemies. The first group, we are to love. Full stop. The second group, we are to love. Full stop. Lord, enable us to love. 🙏🏼

The King reigns from the tree. The reign of God has indeed come upon us, and its sign is not a golden throne but a wooden cross.

The ‘secular’ society is not a neutral area into which we can project the Christian message. It is an area already occupied by other gods. We have a battle on our hands. We are dealing with principalities and powers.

The choice for the church in every age will always be, Will our identity be shaped by Scripture or by our culture—by the biblical story or the cultural story?

The very heart of the biblical vision for the unity of humankind is that its center is not an imperial power but a slain Lamb.

A church that sees the cross of Jesus as the central event of history can never identify any political order with the reign of God.

I spent a lot of seminary making fun of one of my favorite professors for constantly using the phrase "a little book" when the book he was talking about was often NOT little. today, to my horror, I told a student there was a "great little book" she should read...that is 500 pages

Encouraged to hear such a good word on empathy & compassion today. @barrydjones wove together a timely message, esp at a time when some are demeaning empathy as somehow wrong. Thankful for thoughtful pastor-theologians. It should be posted soon.irvingbible.org/livestream

Only half of the pastor’s work is to gather the people together for worship. The other half is to send them back to their daily tasks equipped to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If we forget this second part, the other can be positively dangerous.
