A quote from Cliffe Knechtle…
“Although I do not know why God allowed evil, I do know that he wants to destroy it. That is why there is hell.

Brian Mclaren says:
“I learned that the early church leaders described the Trinity using the term perichoresis (peri-circle, choresis-dance): the Trinity was an eternal dance of Father, Son and Spirit sharing mutual love, honour, happiness, joy and respect. Against this backdrop, God’s act of

Being a Father continues to teach me about patience. It is an ongoing lesson. I can remember thinking, “When will he start walking? When will he talk? When will she say my name? When will he learn some manners? When will he learn to be polite?” As we together develop and grow in our love for God
