Happenings (page 11)

Jesus comes with the authority of God not to burden but to free us. He comes today to each of us to lift the burdens that hold us down and free us from the power of evil that tries to make a home in us.

Wiithout a doubt, God absolutely wants a faith that is more than an inch deep.

Faith is about allowing the divinity of God to possess me enough that my life — that I —become a window into the heart of God.

Like the Kings, we go back to our lives by a different route, knowing we are changed when we see with clear eyes the fullness of the humanity and divinity of Jesus. 

We are commanded to do as Jesus did and welcome saints and sinners to the family and the table of the Lord. 

Will we have the love, courage, and faith of a 14-year-old girl in Nazareth?

Being happy is to stop feeling a victim and becoming the author of your own destiny.

Jesus’ gift of peace is vibrant and powerful. It is not intended to bring a state of sedation.
