So the Bible presents a morally complex and dynamic world where the best of us can do wrong and the worst of us can do right.
p. 58, the great conversation, we make the road by walking, Brian D. McLaren
Our hope is not in the mountains or the valleys we tread. It is found in the circumstances of our lives. Our anticipation lies in the working out of god’s faithful character.
We take for granted that the stars will shine at night and that the tides will shift during the day. Yet, God’s unfailing mercy is more constant than the most reliable workings of nature. Let us take hope in the loyal love of our father.
Hope for Today, Sara Perry, 2020
Because though has kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world.
If though canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.
It’s absolutely possible for people to be healed by faith. But we’re a bit concerned when supposed cures become not as much a show of faith, but just a show.
p. 132, Ascend, chapter 21, stoltz & tomkovicz
May the god of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Hold in silence the tension between a violent world and a god who calls us to reconciliation, mutual understanding, and respect, and peace.
P. 50, From ugliness, a beauty emerges, We make the road by walking, Brian D. McLaren.
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
