SUNSHINE

The world needs 'sunny' people, a 'laughing piety', bringing joy to others, easing their cosmic loneliness. Small wonder Jesus, the Messiah, is called the 'sun of righteousness who brings healing in His wings.'

His disciples are called to do the same.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

Enriching the lives of others, redeeming God's creation.

'For your sake He became poor, that through His poverty you may become rich'
2 Corinthians

PIETY

Many times I have tried to hold hands with contemporary Christianity, but only found a limp grasp. Man today is an empty husk void of true piety, with its heart for God and hand for man. The full gospel is seldom heard, complacency drowning out its voice, hiding in a semblance of worship.

'I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice holy, acceptable unto God which is your spiritual worship.' Romans 12 vs 1

'We think Christ has to do all the dying'
C S Lewis

MANY MANSIONS

The more heaven comes to earth, the more at home we feel. Jesus promised this just before his death.

For others it brings the odour of death.

HOMECOMING

Discovering the sacred in all of life ends our loneliness, especially when we find it in the company of others who seek it too.

THE SACRED

When heaven overlaps with earth it gives birth to sanctity. The sacred, set apart for God, bringing His divinity to earth and so transforming it to become part of heaven. A demoralised earth has no time or energy to seek the sacred and becomes ever more dehumanised.

Science has played its part in the desacralization of life and must be redeemed if it is to put a sacred and beautiful life together again. The art of thinking and writing must play its part in restoring our home and ourselves in it.

TIME

Time must be bought back and turned to redemptive purpose in every area of life. We learn how to bring heaven to earth with each moment of the day. As we bring life to life, we ourselves are becoming more lifelike, fit to live in the life to come.

It is dullness of heart which impedes this progress, redeemed progress going from one degree of glory to another as we become a community of 'little Christs'.

A EMPTY HUSK

Man was made complete by the breath of God, transforming dry earth into His image. Stepping out of God's will, desiring independence from the source of his life, man shrunk into an empty husk of his former self. He lost that spirit which animated him to be a true human, heaven and earth both within him.

Ever seeking to fill that empty husk he continues to turn away from the source of that spiritual life which can restore him to full humanity once again, with sense, purpose and meaning, just as his Maker.

God desires to redeem man and restore his heavenly dimension, so restoring his earthly one to true humanity and ensuring he will endure through death to life eternal, in a cosmos made new.

The new Adam, with perfect balance of heaven and earth, dwells within each man who recognises Him as God's risen Messiah, the redeemer of His people drawn from all quarters of the earth.

A SMILE

A social cuddle.

TRUE ECOLOGY

Creation brings a smile to God's face and He loves it when it makes us smile too.

TRUE CHRISTIANITY

A heartfelt desire to bring a smile to God's face

'This is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased.'

THE SMILES OF GOD

He came to give us reason to smile so that we can give smiles to others.

SMILES

They remind us we are more than just bodies, a message from another dimension to say 'you matter'.
A social cuddle, bringing pleasure to giver and receiver

'Smiles from reason flow, they are the food of love'.
John Milton
