Where there is great love, miracles always happen.

The Holy Spirit, through the person of Jesus, and now through the body of Christ, walks right into the midst of the darkest places, into the most impossible situations and hopeless causes and sets captives free.

What if it’s our quality of peace within the storm that determines the capacity of our faith to calm the storm?

When the Holy Spirit inhabits a person, the person becomes a force for goodness and life.

When sin touches the sacred, it becomes desecrated. When the Sacred One touches the desecrated ones, the desecrated ones become sacred again.

The Spirit of God creates the conditions that make for the prerequisite path of holy discontent.

Discipleship is not a life of believing and behaving. It is a life of beholding and becoming. As we behold the Son of God, we become the sons and daughters of God.

We needed to shift from external prodding to internal hunger; from oughts and shoulds to musts and now; from ticking a box to winning a game.

What does this mean? What must we do?

How are you growing from a prayer life into a life of prayer? 

What might it mean and be like to pray with, into, and out of the mind of Christ? 

One of the great mistakes we can make is to assume we understand and really grasp what prayer is.
