“For a long time, the Jesus that has been portrayed in the American Church – a soft, blue-eyed, long-haired, white guy who pets baby sheep in his spare time and never gets angry – often looks vastly different than the Jesus in the bible. The same Jesus who fed sheep, flipped tables. The same God who created the earth in seven days, is the same God who flooded it in one. The same God who parted the Red Sea, is the same God who used it to drown His enemies. The same God who rained down bread from heaven to provide, is the same God who rained down fire from heaven to destroy. The same Jesus who died as a lamb, is the same Jesus who is returning as a Lion.”

“A mother listens for the breathing of her babe in the dark. It will tell her so much. The soft, measured breath, or the laboring, gasping breath. God never hides His ear from our breathing; or from those in- articulate cries, which express, as words could not do, the deep anguish and yearning of the heart. If you cannot speak, cry, sob, or groan, then be still. God can interpret all.” (Meyer)”

“We become portable meeting places where those who are still exiled from God can meet Him, through us.”
