In the eyes of the world, Jesus was a fool. He did not abide by the rules of his day; the people he associated with were shunned by society; his Sermon on the Mount reads likea primer on being left behind, stepped on, and ignored. In order for us to truly be the people Jesus wants us to be, we too must learn to become "foolish."
Becoming a Christian is not a magical enterprise by which we are automatically transformed into better people. We must...

Imagine a stormy day at sea, your ship yielding to a relentless wind, pummeled by crashing waves, subject to the awesome force of nature. A force that is both fierce and majestic. A power that is nothing short of furious.
Such is God's intense, consuming love for His children. It's a love that knows no limits, and no boundaries. A love that will go to any lengths, and take any risks, to pursue us.

¿Se siente usted sucio, maltrecho y exhausto?
Muchos de los creyentes creen en la gracia de Dios, pero sólo en teoría, ya que de alguna manera no pueden aplicarla a la vida diaria. Ellos continúan viendo a Dios como alguien que toma en cuenta nuestras faltas y éxitos, y son anotados en un libro para darnos una puntuación.
En su libro El evangelio de los andrajosos, Brennan Manning nos recuerda que esta manera de pensar está muy lejos de la...
