The way of Jesus has a destination. All our prayer, all our action for justice is directional: it points us to the reign of God.

Keep Awake
As we begin the journey toward Advent, how do we keep awake? The parable of the ten bridesmaids tells us: “Jesus looks for followers who were willing to love God through loving their neighbors. Jesus looks for prepared seekers who are willing to stand sentinel for the coming of the reign of love.”
Against Certainty
There are preachers out there who preach doctrines and positions about which, they say to the congregation, you can be certain. This morning, I am only certain about a handful of things, and I am certain that certainty is getting us into a great deal of trouble.
Generosity is a Practice of Justice
I don’t think we talk enough about justice when it comes to our conversations about giving. We talk about giving thankfully back to God. We talk about abundance. Jesus is less concerned that we be thankful givers. Christian generosity is meant to be about transforming unjust structures.
