All in Church
Christianity says that we are guilty, but we aren’t condemned. Jesus comforts the rightly accused.
When we gather, let’s pray to the big God for this big world with its big needs.
As John Webster says, “Everything that is to be said of the church is said by saying, ‘We point to him.’”

Every church has something at the center. Something driving the gatherings, the activities, the functions. Something serving as the engine powering everything that moves. What’s at the center is what’s all around.
Jesus is not only the Sage we need; he’s the Savior we need. The wisdom of God is more than just right thinking; it’s the glories of his righteousness and the wonders of his love.
A wise community says so much about the person and work of God because a wise community shows this foolish world what shalom looks like, what true peace is.
