The promise that God will bring new life from a dead stump challenges our haste to chop down whatever seems to be in our way.

God is so totally about life, life and more life, that we have trouble comprehending anything of what God is on about.

Letting go of the idea that we can earn God’s favour is very difficult for most people, but it is a key to enjoying the fullness of life and grace.

Jesus calls us to be open to others, not shutting anyone out of our consciousness or care, and treating all as beloved neighbours.

Those who trust God and remain flexible enough to change and grow will have nothing to fear from God’s strong hands.

True worship, which honours and pleases God, is a seamless combination of ritual praise and a life lived in doing good for others.

A sense of shame can be God’s invitation to accept healing and new life.

Faith is not the absence of doubt, but the courage and trust to be faithful to God in your your actions and life, despite doubts and disappointments.

The Lord’s Prayer is given to us, the Church, as a model to shape all our praying.

God’s anger over injustice and hypocrisy is the hot passionate anger of a lover betrayed and aggrieved, an anger which craves reconciliation and rekindled love, not punishment.

God’s call to us is to be the embodiment of divine compassion.

Pray for all people and let God do the judging. The world may be an evil place but you are God’s children and evil has been overcome.
