"He wanted to see them correct the mistakes of their past and do better in the future. Instead, he discovered they appeared to be repeating them."

It’s amazing that God spoke creation, that Jesus is the Word made flesh, that He speaks to us and through us, that we are walking around in what He is saying, and that even our own words reflect in small ways the power of His.
Many mock prayer as talking to "a sky fairy" but for those of us who face death or other foes, prayer is a feast of love, joy, and power given by God "in the presence of mine enemies". Thank you Lord for prayer.
“Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.”
-Bonhoeffer
I’m amazed at how many leaders call all believers to make disciples as Jesus commanded and then prevent those same people from doing what Jesus said is required to make disciples: baptizing and teaching.
