At the Cross, we do not see sinners in the hands of an angry God, but a God in the hands of angry sinners.

Christ's Kingdom is a radical reorientation of how we do life based on radical paradigm shifts in how we see God, ourselves and others.

Our treatment of others is not based on their beliefs; our treatment of others is based on our own.

We cannot use the Old Testament to undo the teachings of Jesus.

Jesus was the antithesis of the might-makes-right solutions which we find in superhero stories.

Jesus' death was not the ratification of "an eye for an eye" way of doing life, but the complete and utter negation of such.

The Kingdom: Not about getting to heaven, but loving subversively in the here and now.

Jesus was more concerned about getting heaven into people than getting people into heaven.

Jesus stood up to defend those who were being damaged by those who were standing up for what they think is right.

The Jesus we find in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John does not come to satisfy a god's need for retribution, but to fulfill God's desire for restoration.
