To speak of holy things requires using earthbound language in creative ways.

We can’t easily calculate how things will fit together to shape the future.

The ultimate future belongs to God.

Christian theology is communal at its very core.

Community is a gift of grace.

I hadn’t expected to become a believer and certainly didn’t expect or experience a dramatic or ecstatic moment.

He ascended into heaven.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
