Forgiveness is the language of resurrection. Forgiveness breathes new life into failed lives, dead relationships, and sin sick souls.

Jesus leads us from mere religious holiness to relational wholeness. He is teaching us how to be "perfect" in mercy, not just morality.

Love, not law, is the way to maximum human flourishing.

If Jesus had a catchy slogan for his Good News message, it might be: MORE LOVE, LESS RELIGION.

Jesus leads us into a righteousness that goes above the law to find the love, and goes beyond justice to mercy.

Any committed relationship between imperfect people will require an ongoing devotion to mercy.

We can experience the presence of Jesus through small expressions of church, especially when we are on mercy missions of grace.
