God is not simply saving diverse individuals and preparing them for heaven; rather he is creating a people for his name, among whom God can dwell and who in their life together will reproduce God’s life and character in all its unity and diversity

Most remarkable of all, Jesus goes to the Father in order to prepare a dwelling-place (Jn. 14:2) for the disciples, while the Paraclete comes from the Father in order to prepare a dwelling-place (Jn. 14:23) for the Father and the Son

At Sinai, Moses ascended into God's presence, and the law of God, written on tablets of stone, was brought down to the people. At Pentecost, Jesus ascended into God's presence and God's Spirit was sent down, writing the law on the hearts of the people

Women's ministry leaderss are often the first to be trusted with confessions of victimisation, the first line of defense for theologically sound Bible study, the first to ensure meals are taken to the bereaved. They are functional mothers in the family of God

I am not a theologian or a scholar, but I am very aware of the fact that pain is necessary to all of us. In my own life, I think I can honestly say that out of the deepest pain has come the strongest conviction of the presence of God and the love of God

Indeed, heaven and earth will, as it were, form one domain of righteousness in which the Spirit of God will be the all-pervasive atmosphere, just as the Lord God and the Lamb will be the temple, the glory of God its light, and the Lamb of God its lamp

Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends

God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. It is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If Christ is not risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is risen, nothing else matters
