At the heart of Christian spirituality is a secret life of communion with God. This is the way to rich "reward."

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

According to Jesus, whatever it is we think anger and outrage are helping us accomplish, love will do a better job.

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

Life is love, period. Everything else is commentary.

Jesus pictures the Bible as a vessel, like a clay pot, that he has come, not to smash on the ground, but to fill up with its true meaning.

Disciples of Jesus are meant to live together in ways that spread the light of God’s love.

Jesus-people have the privilege of forming an alter-culture of good company where we celebrate grace with joy, despite persecution.

Blessed are those hungering and thirsting for their relationships to be made right, for God will satisfy their souls.
