Book: Genesis

God’s covenant of love and grace is made unconditionally, not depending even on our response, and so the promises are made to our children whether they respond or not.

It often feels as though faithfulness is going to cost us everything, but God is a God of wonderful surprises.

Hope is the melody of the future – Faith dances to it today

Reconciliation begins with my ‘self’, and then, as I let go the fears, the guilt, the self justification, I might just possibly become an agent for peace.

The incoming Kingdom of God often challenges conventional social norms to such an extent that it is perceived as anarchic or even evil.

God is with us everywhere, whether we realise it or not, but there is still value in honouring special places of promise and revelation.

Christ’s desire to extend hospitality to us, to welcome us at his table, is so great that he will give even his own life to bring us into the experience of his love. This is the pattern for our call to hospitality too.

You might have been written off as a dead loss (even by yourself), but only respond to the call of Christ, and you will live!

God calls us to new beginnings, and we have to let go of old certainties to embrace them.

Violence must be a constant temptation for God, but in absolute love, God has vowed never to resort to it.

God will wound us if necessary to bring us into the full blessing intended for us.

Perhaps when law and order perpetuate injustice, God is on the side of the scammers and swindlers.
