The church works best not as a power center, rather as a countercultural community - in the world but not of it - that shows others how to live the most fulfilled and meaningful life on earth.

Christian faith is... basically about love and being loved and reconciliation. These things are so important, they're foundational and they can transform individuals, families.

God already knows the naked truth about us, of course. Why not acknowledge it?

We grow up hungry for love, and in ways so deep as to remain unexpressed we long for our Maker to love us.
