—The Book of Common Prayer

“Whatever ember of love for goodness flickers within us, however feeble or small… that’s what the Spirit works with, until that spark glows warmer and brighter. From the tiniest beginning, our whole lives—our whole hearts, minds, souls, and strength—can be set aflame with love for God.”
― B. McLaren, We make the road by walking

OUR LIFELINE
The Bible is the rope God throws us in order to ensure that we stay connected while the rescue is in progress.

— J.I. Packer, Christianity Today

Five Helps for the New Year by Bishop Michael Ramsey

“Historically, the Church tends to take the greatest promises of Scripture and put them off into a period of time for which we have no responsibility. Jesus commanded His followers to do things that they might have impact now. His assignment to His followers was always to bring transformation to their immediate surroundings." 
— B. Johnson, The Way of Life: Experiencing the Culture of Heaven on Earth
