Let’s state it clearly: One great idea of the biblical revelation is that God is manifest in the ordinary, in the actual, in the daily, in the now, in the concrete incarnations of life. That’s opposed to God holding out for the pure, the spiritual, the right idea or the ideal anything. This is why Jesus stands religion on its head!

ReplyDeleteIt's a shame more people don't see it this way.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMimi, you quoted from this very wise man two or three weeks ago. I was so intrigued that I went to his website and signed up for the daily meditations. Each one has been a gift and a wonderful affirmation for where I am in my faith walk. Thanks again. What you do matters in ways you can't begin to know.
