Book: Psalms

The Trinitarian stories resemble the dreaming of Australia’s Aborigines, for both imagine the divine as a community of being in which we are invited to participate, and so find our true being.

Following Christ may take us into costly confrontation with the powers of the world, and we cannot be protected from the costs of that, but Christ will bring us through to the land of promise beyond.

Forgiveness is the voluntary relinquishment of the right to desire revenge or reparation.

Our deepest yearnings are satisfied in God, and only scratched elsewhere.

The God who stopped at nothing to stand in solidarity with us, looks for those who will give everything to work in solidarity with God.

Acceptance of God’s merciful presence and Christ’s ways will save us from selfishness and self-destructiveness.
