"For it seems that the church has trained Christians to expect someone to give them faith in small, prechewed bites they can swallow without significant effort."
"God the creator of all things, has been re-creating all things through the redeeming work of Jesus the Messiah. In this view we are not left with a memory of a God who made this world and now simply waits for it to expire. God is constantly creating anew. And God also invites us to be re-created and to join the work of God as co-(re)creators. We are not bystanders, nor are we to be inactive."
"Service isn't how we act out our spirituality; it's how our spirituality gets shaped...Service is an obvious way for us to orient our lives around both a belief in Jesus and our efforts to live in the Kingdom of God and never separate the two..."
"...people bent on practicing a Christian faith that is useful in the world."
I'm ready for something new!!! I'm excited for what God's doin' in Springfield!
