Book: 1 Corinthians

The resurrection doesn’t restore what we lost — it reveals what we were always becoming: living icons through whom the world might glimpse the life of God.

In both the Christian church as well as the wider world, there is increasing division. Is there a way we can become genuine peacemakers in both church and world?

God is love, and so love is the only real measure of spiritual maturity or accomplishment.

Jesus’s agenda, which we are called to follow, is about healing, liberating and gathering in the excluded, not purifying the community by excluding anyone.

Following Jesus in ministering among the needs around us is not a call to do everything ourselves.

The world finds the message of Jesus almost incomprehensible because it seems too simplistic and unrealistic to be taken seriously.

All that matters about God, about sin and forgiveness, and about living with integrity and freedom, flows from the human encounter with the crucified and risen Jesus.

A close encounter with God in Christ can make us paralysingly aware of our own sin and failure, but the experience of grace can transform that into a solidarity and gratitude that empowers us.

The only measure of our progress in Christian faith is our love for others, including those we are least inclined to love.

In God’s vision for humanity, every person and the role they play is valued and cared for. When society fails to live up to this, the Church is called to go against the flow and courageously champion and model it.

When our world and our hearts feel dry, cut off, and despondent, there is hope and life to be found in God’s promises.

Science, theology and reason can often lead to a sound set of ethical behavioural conclusions which then need to be set aside because, in reality, love demands something else.
