Worship will never end whether there be buildings, they will crumble whether there be committees, they will fall asleep whether there be budgets, they will add up to nothing.

The kingdom that Jesus preached and lived was all about a glorious, uproarious, absurd generosity.
N. T. Wright
As we are set free by that love from our own pride and fear, our own greed and arrogance, so we are free in our turn to be agents of reconciliation and hope, or healing and love.
N. T. Wright
Jesus didn't really die-someone gave him a long drug that made him look like dead, and he revived in the tomb. Answer: Roman soldiers knew how to kill people, and no disciple would have been fooled by a half-drugged, beat-up Jesus into thinking he'd defeated death and inaugurated the kingdom.

Those in whom the Spirit comes to live are God's new Temple. They are, individually and corporately, places where heaven and earth meet.

Resurrection means bodily life after ‘life after death,’ or, if you prefer, bodily life after the state of ‘death’
N. T. Wright
Justice and beauty are central to God's new world and should be central to our work. Together they frame the good news of Jesus.

When we begin to glimpse the reality of God, the natural reaction is to worship him. Not to have that reaction is a fairly sure sign that we haven't yet really understood who he is or what he's done.
N. T. Wright
I knew that I had to be a preacher. I had to be a minister, which was a puzzle to me because my dad was a businessman. It was a family company and I assumed that I would take it on from him.
