“Faith, not fear – that is Peter, like David before him, having both laid down and sleeping in peace.”

“No more insiders and outsiders, no more clean and unclean, no more Jew and Gentile – because in Jesus all are welcome, in Jesus all are included, in Jesus all are being made one.”

“Jesus may have risen from the dead two thousand years ago, but His resurrection is not over. For He is still raising us up – from out of our sickness and sorrow into new life, and from out of our death and the grave into eternal life.”

“The church, having been so brutally persecuted by Paul, simply wants to know whether or not Paul has also been changed. Forget saved – is he now different?”

“Paul’s conversion is first and foremost a reassurance that Jesus Christ, and His mercy, are unstoppable – no matter how fragile or hanging-in-the-balance it may seem to us at any given moment.”

“God loved us so much that he was never content to stay hidden away in sacred space.”
