Pain That Transforms
Life has its painful moments. The message we see in scripture is that God runs through the pain, to us, healing us in a sense of newness. That is the story of Jesus, of Friday abandonment, Saturday depth, and Sunday readiness. It is the story that lets us read our own story afresh.

Let us live a life worthy of our calling; let us live a way other than our own.Our Identity Renewed

Until We Come to Ourselves Our lives are frequently grounded in identity, the “ourself.” Our identity, the “pursuit” should be grounded in our place as a beloved child of the Creator God.Until We Come to Ourselves

The Wrong Temple We at times find ourselves in the wrong temple, places that make promises of safety that leave us more anxious, offers of joy that leave us empty. Partly we are in the wrong place by will, partly by habit, partly by accident, partly seduced. Our work in Lent is to move from these fake temples to the true temple who is Jesus.The Wrong Temple
