Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

- 1 Peter 2:1-5, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Jesus' resurrection is the beginning of God's new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about.

      - N. T. Wright

Pray Together with Us

Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustices, far less from justice, but from being unjust. He died that we might live—but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.

- George MacDonald
