Those Who Have The Disease Called Jesus

We Have Been Given God In Our Souls And Christ In Our Flesh. We Have The Power To Believe Where Others Deny, To Hope Where Others Despair, To Love Where Others Hurt.

The Splendor Of A Human Heart That Trusts It Is Loved Unconditionally Gives God More Pleasure Than Westminster Cathedral, The Sistine Chapel, Beethoven’s “ninth Symphony”, Van Gogh’s “sunflowers”, The Sight Of 10,000 Butterflies In Flight, Or The Scent Of A Million Orchids In Bloom. Trust Is Our Gift Back To God, And He Finds It So Enchanting That Jesus Died For Love Of It.

All That Is Good Is Ours Not By Right But By The Sheer Bounty Of A Gracious God

Genuine Self-acceptance Is Not Derived From The Power Of Positive Thinking, Mind Games Or Pop Psychology. It Is An Act Of Faith In The God Of Grace.

The Anything-goes Passiveness Of The Religious And Political Left Is Matched By The Preachy Moralism Of The Religious And Political Right. The Person Who Uncritically Embraces Any Party Line Is Guilty Of An Idolatrous Surrender Of Her Core Identity As Abba's Child. Neither Liberal Fairy Dust Nor Conservative Hardball Addresses Our Ragged Human Dignity.
