“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on...that’s who we really are.” - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Spiritual Power of Jesus - 8.3.25 | Rev. Chris Currie
The church has always been under call to live differently…. You are not just out there. You have been addressed, claimed, named, commissioned. You have been addressed in your baptism. Every time you take communion, you are called to the extravagant goodness of God, called to put your life down in the power and wonder of the creator God, called to remember that you are God’s, that you belong to him and exist for him. - Walter Brueggemann, A Way Other Than Our Own
Lord, Teach Us To Pray - 7.27.25 | Dr. Cyndi Parker
Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all other need; prayer is the beginning of that communion, and some need is the motive of that prayer. Our wants are for the sake of our coming into communion with God, our eternal need. - George MacDonald, "The Words of Jesus on Prayer," in Unspoken Sermons
