Imitating Christ and not just following Christ. Being a radical, peacemaker, filled with ideas and passion
and imitating Christ with love and grace. That’s our Francis!
Look around your neighbourhood and garden and see what animals are blessing you with their presence. How can we bless them with our presence? Be like St Francis and imitate the life of Christ to humans and Animals?
We observe moral challenges as we consciously impact the world.
Created in God’s image, can we find Theologian, Paul Tillich’s idea, “God is the Ground of our Being.”
Most have some difficulties in their lives. Jesus’s point was, that rather than seeking prosperity and ease, if we desire to follow after him then we may have to pay a price for Christ’s sake. Currently the trend is to follow your own heart but Jesus says deny yourself and follow him.
Our human experience can never be separated from the well-being of our planet. Wisdom can be ‘home spun’ by letting the earth and it’s creatures speak to us.
Passion compels us into action. Action that is fueled by love and not obligation, not rituals but commitment. Be careful what you say and how you use the Bible text!
You are loved, you are not broken, you are good, beautiful, awesome! Bring joy to those around you by being a Community of Joy.
Eating bread makes us hungry and want more, eating what Jesus supplies gives energy and fulfilment – Jesus knows what we each need.
Bread is fuel for humanity to stay alive and gives the electric energy and strength to be a driving force to do God’s will to love one another as you love yourself.
Doing business any other way than the Lord’s way has a high cost to it, the consequences of sin are rarely confined to the individual.
