Moving Closer to the Altar
You and I, by God's grace and mercy, are invited into a tradition that is called to be centered on the Word of God, which has authority, which does what it says, but also has space and patience and time for people to approach and hear as God enables them to do so.

We move closer to heaven and the new Earth when we live our lives as if it is a Resurrection in progress.
Dead. Really.

Mourning Mercies
There is no sin so great, no suffering too painful, no death too tragic that it prevents God's ability to work in the present and in the future.
