"I no longer try and make Jesus fit the Bible, but let the Bible fit around Jesus. I see Jesus, calling us out of our boat-like systems, onto the water where we can stand, against all logic and laws – with our eyes on him."

Word made flesh
"In every religion and philosophy- word remains word, religion remains a theory, and philosophy remains a guess. But in Jesus Christ, the Word is made flesh, reality is revealed – God’s thought is concluded in human life. The ultimate destiny of the Word, was never a book or an institution, but the image and likeness of God displayed in human life."

Sin isn't kryptonite to God
"When God became a man, He did not pursue sinners to destroy them. He did not run sinners off. He attracted them! How different is God from the traditions we've developed vainly in His name! Sinners found the company of Jesus attractive because they found value there, they discovered their true selves there, they discovered a greater reality than sin – their true design and being in Him."
If sinners aren't drawn to you... then you aren't reflecting Jesus. Sin isn't kryptonite to God. He doesn't buckle under the presence of wrong. He doesn't strike it down with his condemning finger pointing. He overshadows it with love. His fullness washes it away. God is not a fault finder. He wants relationship even with our faults. He can handle it. Why can't we? #detox
