jesus heart adventure
Jesus beckons his followers to a path that's far from the easy road. It's a path filled with adventure, uncertainty, and unlimited possibilities - the only path that can fulfill the deepest longings and desires of your heart.
heart looks wonderful
It’s a wonderful thing when you look inside your own heart and like what you see.
jesus heart new-beginnings
Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning.
determination heart our-lives
Faith is the determination to create with our lives what only our hearts can conceive.
inspiration heart mean
When calling for authenticity, we need to take seriously the brokenness and sinfulness of the human heart. If to be authentic means to be who we really are or to express what we really feel, then in most cases I’m going to vote for hypocrisy. Our prisons are filled with men and women who acted on their feelings and impulses. If authenticity is about being true to yourself, these individuals should be our models of inspiration.
heart men people
The history of God's people is not a record of God searching for courageous men and women who could handle the task, but God transforming the hearts of cowards and calling them to live courageous lives.
dream heart giving
God gives God-sized dreams to people with God-shaped hearts.
alive faith hold means vibrant word
The word 'entertain' means to hold someone's attention, and what we want is a faith that is vibrant and alive and beautiful and real.
against brutal celebrity christian college confronted frequently good kids people son space system
The system of Christian celebrity was not a good space for me, and it was brutal on my kids - my son in college was frequently confronted by people railing against me as a heretic.
enjoy faith life seems
So much of what comes out of the faith community seems so dour and somber, and we want to say, 'Hey, we're real people. You can be a person of faith and really enjoy life and laugh.'
love
While we would love to have no criticism, probably if we had no critique, we wouldn't be doing anything meaningful.
religion
We need to understand that Christianity is about changing; it is not about a religion.
jesus people religion
We focus, in some ways, on how to disengage Jesus and the Bible from everything people know about Christianity as a religion.
emphasis focused hard means outside people work
From the beginning, our community has been focused on people outside of Christianity. But that emphasis means that a lot of hard work is represented in every person who is baptized.
