"Christian faith isn't a general religious awareness. Nor is it the ability to believe several unlikely propositions. It is certainly not a kind of gullibility which would put us out of touch with any genuine reality. It is the faith which hears the story of Jesus, including the announcement that he is the world's true Lord, and responds from the heart with a surge of grateful love that says: 'Yes. Jesus is Lord. He died for my sins. God raised him from the dead. This is the center of everything." - N.T. Wright, Simply Christian
Palm Sunday - Dr. Cyndi Parker | 3.24.24
βOne of the greatest ironies of the history of Christianity is that its leaders constantly gave in to the temptation of power even though they continued to speak in the name of Jesus, who did not cling to His divine power but emptied himself and became as we are.β Henri Nouwen, In the Name of Jesus
Prayer - Rev. Chris Currie | 3.17.24
Faith, I've come to believe, is more craft than feeling. And prayer is our chief practice in that craft. - Tish Harrison Warren, Prayer in the Night
