Happy New Year

Wright from his new book, Paul: In Fresh Perspective: “The church must live as a sign of the kingdom yet to come, but since that kingdom is characterized by justice, peace and joy in the Spirit (Romans 14:17), it cannot be inaugurated in the present by violence and hatred.”… May this year witness Jesus’ people inaugurating his kingdom in justice, peace and joy.

I wanted to welcome the New Year with a quote by N.T. Wright from his new book, Paul: In Fresh Perspective:

“The church must live as a sign of the kingdom yet to come, but since that kingdom is characterized by justice, peace and joy in the Spirit (Romans 14:17), it cannot be inaugurated in the present by violence and hatred.”

Happy 2006! May this year witness Jesus’ people inaugurating his kingdom in justice, peace and joy.

Clarity In The Fog

The other morning, I brought my camera with me to morning coffee since there was a thick layer of fog. As the sunlight began to burn off the fog, I was able to take some images. The interesting thing about fog is that while it obscures our vision, it also adds definition to the light […]

In Him

“For in him we live and move and have our being.’ Acts 17:28 While life circumstances may seem to be at the whim of random forces, it is simply not the case. We do not live in a vacuum. Instead we live in God. God is always present. God is always acting. We are surrounded […]
