[jesus] Said That They Will

We Think Of Justice Sometimes As Getting What You Deserve, You Know  -  what Crime Was Committed And What Is The Punishment For That Crime. That's How A Lot Of The Criminal Justice Works. But God's Justice Is Restorative, So It's Not As Interested In Those Same Questions Of "what Did They Do Wrong?" And "what Is The Punishment For That?" It's More About What Harm Was Done And How Do We Heal That Harm, And That's A Much More Redemptive Version. So, It Definitely Doesn't Turn A Blind Eye To Harm, But It Does Say We Want To Heal The Wounds Of That.

I Like How Someone Once Said Being A Christian Is Not About Having New Ideas But Having New Eyes. This Is The Ability To Have Our Hearts Broken With The Things That Break The Heart Of God. That Is Part Of What It Means To Be A Christian.

Liturgy And Worship Were Never Meant To Be Confined To The Cathedrals And Sanctuaries. Liturgy At Its Best Can Be Performed Like A Circus Or Theater - Making The Gospel Visible As A Witness To The World Around Us.

There Are Some Christians Who Totally Disengage From Politics And Set Their Minds On Heaven So Much That Their Faith Is So Heavenly Minded That It Is No Earthly Good.

We Have A Relational Problem With Those Who Are Suffering Or Who Are Different From Us. All Of Us Are Most Comfortable Around People Who Are Like Us Culturally And Economically.
