“Kindness requires creativity. We have to witness the world and the people in it as boats with open sails, ready to be pushed by the wind of thoughtfulness. God, to my amazement, has put this power in our hands. And so this, too, is a gift we give to others. As with the other gifts of the Spirit, it’s relational, interpersonal. It’s a gift that helps us thrive in God’s giving circle.”

“Stable units such as dust particles must derive their stability from something, or someone. Secular worldviews would have us attribute the stable nature of the dust particles to their physical makeup or their molecular structure. In other words, they will point to principles to explain the stability of units in the world. But that is not really an explanation. Explanations are only real if they come from persons, not from principles. Principles are explanatory, no doubt, but persons must stand behind the principles or else the principles are ultimately unstable and capricious, which means they are not really principles at all.”

“What grace conveys is not a thing but a person; it establishes a relationship where the gift cannot be separated from the person who gave it. Grace is not an object passed from Christ to believers or a quality infused into them: it is, first and foremost, a transformative relationship with the Giver.”

“Believers live a life derived from elsewhere, in a kind of “ex-centric” existence (an existence whose center is outside of oneself) that draws on Jesus’s life from the dead.”
