"We teach this prayer to our kids, stitch it onto pillows, and whisper it to ourselves in troubling times. But do we really appreciate what we're asking for when we pray it? This prayer is a gift of comfort as many prayers we know by heart are. but the things we hope for when we prayer the Lord's Prayer are more radical than we might realize if we switch to autopilot during its familiar cadence."

"Mary and Martha were women to be reckoned with. And the way this gospel story unfolds, we the readers seem to be forced to pit these two formidable women at odds with each other...but when we read it carefully, the text does not support this dichotomy."

"Over and over in Luke, Jesus shows us that the way we live into a right relationship with God – the way we justify ourselves, as the lawyer says – is by how we live into a right relationship with, and how we treat our neighbor."

Pentecost Sunday
"The question here isn't about how languages are a punishment or a gift, the question is about how we understand our sense of being, our sense of belonging and what truly unifies us."
www.historicchristchurch.org
"A more complex understanding of prayer, a more nuanced understanding of a relationship with God believes that prayer changes us, not God. Prayer is not a technique for getting things from God but for strengthening our relationship with God."

"Love in the way that Jesus intends for is not just a magical supply of kindness and benevolence, but instead it's the power to respond to the hatred of our neighbors with words and actions - the kind of words and actions that call them to be their better selves just as we are called to be our better selves."
