“To be an active and loving witness for Christ encompasses one’s entire life, as our words, actions, and lifestyle all give off a fragrant aroma of God’s love and grace.” - Craig E. Sider

So often we try to lead the spirit instead of allowing the spirit to lead us.

We not only interpret scripture, but it also interprets us.

"By yielding our lives to Jesus, withholding nothing, Jesus assures us that the Holy Spirit will consistently empower us to navigate every circumstance in life."  Harvey Sider

Pursuing peace makes it tougher for evil to thrive

Surrender tells God, Lord, I can't, but you can; that's why I lay down everything before you.

Grace reaches you where you are and takes you where God wants you to be.

The church is not tasked with changing the world, but being the world already changed by Jesus.
