“All revealed truths derive from the same divine source and are to be believed with the same faith, yet some of them are more important for giving direct expression to the heart of the Gospel. In this basic core, what shines forth is the beauty of the saving love of God made manifest in Jesus Christ who died and rose from the dead.” GivingHeartMadeImportantJesusChristDivineExpressionSourceJesus ChristDirectDiedShiningRoseCoreSavingGod LoveManifestSaving Love Book:The Joy of the Gospel Source: The Joy of the Gospel
“In one of the accounts of Jesus's death we read that the curtain in the temple of God-the one that kept people out of the holiest place of God's presence-ripped.One New Testament writer said that this ripping was a picture of how, because of Jesus, we can have new, direct access to God.A beautiful idea.But the curtain ripping also means that God comes out, that God is no longer confined to the temple as God was previously.” PeopleMeanSaidIdeasBeautifulJesusDirectAccountsAccessTemplesTestamentCurtainsConfinedNew TestamentRippedGod's Presence Author:Rob Bell
“All other passions build upon or flow from your passion for Jesus. A passion for souls grows out of a passion for Christ. A passion for missions builds upon a passion for Christ. The most crucial danger to a Christian, whatever his role, is to lack a passion of Christ. The most direct route to personal renewal and new effectiveness is a new all-consuming passion for Jesus. Lord, give us this passion, whatever the cost!” GivingSoulChristianPassionJesusGrowsChristLordRolesDangerCostFlowDirectMissionsCrucialRoutesRenewalEffectivenessConsumingPassion Of The Christ Author:Wesley L Duewel
“For Jesus, it is clear, poverty is not the problem; it is the solution. Until human beings learn to live in naked contact and direct simplicity and equality with each other, sharing all resources, there can be no solution to the misery of the human condition and no establishment of God's kingdom. Jesus' radical and paradoxical sense of who could and who could not enter the Kingdom is even more clearly illustrated by his famous praise of children.” HumansChildrenProblemJesusHuman BeingsPovertyClearConditionsSolutionsResourcesDirectPraiseMiserySimplicityKingdomsNakedContactRadicalEstablishmentHuman ConditionParadoxical Author:Andrew Harvey
“When Jesus sent forth his servants formerly he sent them to preach this Gospel.
