The best testimony to the truth of the gospel is the quality of our life together. Jesus risked his reputation and the credibility of his story by tying them to how his followers live and care for one another in community.... How we live together is the most persuasive sermon we'll ever get to preach. - Christine Pohl, Living Into Community
Covenantal Love - Dr. Cyndi Parker | 1.18.26
We cannot save ourselves. We cannot do life on our own. God does not ask us to have it all together. Quite the contrary, he invites us to admit our weakness, confess our sin, and receive his strength and salvation. He invites us to acknowledge our insufficiencies and allow others to carry our burdens with us. - Eliza Huie and Esther Smith, The Whole Life
The Pain of Exile - Dr. Cyndi Parker | 1.11.26
We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes.... - Madeleine L'Engle, The Rock that is Higher
