There are more important things to do than hurry. Robert Farrar Capon

Wow, yes.

If the kind of transformation I'm imagining for my neighborhood or nation can be accomplished by a Government, my idea of transformation falls short of the kind Christ has in mind.

It seems God is interested in entrusting more to those who are most satisfied in Him.

If you're "going to church" today I hope you don't have great time :) Make someone else's time great! #notthereforme #thereforHim #others

It seems that Jesus believes that those with the greatest true wealth on Earth are those who know their need for God. • Rev 1.9 Matt 5.3

Acts 26.8 + 1 Peter 3.15

If the resurrection is real, why should we -of all people on earth- not have 'unreasonable' hope in all circumstances!

I love how the resurrection confronts all of our thinking!

Jesus' times alone were not selfish; I imagine He was being attentive and responsive to the Father's desires for time with his son.

• "Love is not self-seeking" • Do we have any evidence of Jesus acting selfishly? • God has never done anything with self-interest Selah

Jesus wasn’t effective in His ministry because He was God; He was effective in His ministry because He was human!

Jesus was 100% divine + 100% human. Interesting that he spent more time emphasizing his humanness (“Son of Man” statements). Making a point?

He said things like: “by myself I can do nothing” Jn 5.30 & that He would only do & say what He sees & hears from the Father (Jn 5.19,12.50)

Jesus modeled for us what it looks like for a human to live and minister in dependence upon the Father and in the power of the Spirit!

I love Psalm 18.35-36, not for what it means for me but for what it reveals about Him!
