God’s very character is one of justice, and he has given us Jesus as the manifestation of his justice both now and for eternity. God is the one who reveals the justice calling upon our lives, because God is the source of justice. - Bethany Hanke Hoang and Kristen Deede Johnson, The Justice Calling
Inner Renewal - Rev. Chris Currie | 4.26.26
Very often we feel restricted in our situation, our family, or our surroundings. But maybe the real problem lies elsewhere: in our hearts. There we are restricted, and that is the root of our lack of freedom. - Jacques Philippe, Interior Freedom
Relational Repair - Paul Burkhart | 4.19.26
"As there can be no above without a below, no before without an after, so there can be no...history of salvation between God and humanity without its reflection and repetition in a history between one person and another. [But this] can take place only as those who are loved by God and love Him in return enjoy and make use of the freedom to love one another. If it is ever the case that they seem to be missing God’s love and their own love for God...the root of the trouble may be quite simply that they are not ready to make use of this freedom, and are not engaged in this confirmation of God’s love and their own love for Him." -- Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics IV.2
