“The Lord’s dream…What if we lived like Jesus really meant it?

We want to be known for our love and the community we are building.

It would flip the world upside down if we really read the Sermon on the Mount and tried to live it as if Jesus meant it.

The questions are not doctrinal. According to Jesus we will be asked, ‘When I was hungry did you feed me? When I was a stranger did you welcome me? When I was in prison did you welcome me?’ The real test of our faith is how it works itself out in love and compassion.

I love the old saying that we just have to connect our passions to the world’s pain.”

BT: Maybe instead of asking WWJD (what would Jesus do) we should just DO what Jesus said (DWJS). Faith is not easy but it also is not all that complicated. Just act it out each day.
