We often focus on the last words of Jesus from the cross, but not the first words from the tomb.

In John's gospel, Jesus' first words words after he's raised is similar to the first words he speaks in chapter 1.

Chapter 1: What do you seek?
Chapter 20: Whom do you seek?

We don’t bring the image of God to other people. We identify the image of God in other people.

When I pray for peace, I pray not only that the enemies of my country may cease to want war, but above all that my own country will cease to do the things that make war inevitable.

If you think it’s ridiculous that people refuse to accept the 97% of climate scientists that agree on anthropogenic global warming, try explaining that 100% of food scientists agree that MSG is safe.

There is nothing more Spirit-filled, in our polarizing times, than disagreeing with each other while resisting the force to demonize each other. ~ Christine Pohl

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

What people need in preaching ministry is not just good exegesis & theology. People are looking for a word from someone who has been with God & has journeyed inward to face the demons & struggles that afflict everyone.

And offer a word of hope and liberation out of that.
