It is not our worship, midweek devotional booklets or sermons that best prepare us for incarnation but our immersion in incarnational ministry -- those opportunities that bring us in close proximity to the redemptive power of God in our world and in this season.

Many people come to the Bible with the wrong question: "What must I do to get into heaven after I die?" In this parable Jesus explains that is the wrong question. The right question is Who is God and What is God like? When you ask these questions you see in Christ the inbreaking fo God into human life. The world values power and wealth and control while the Kingdom of God values compassion and justice and love. Life in the Kingdom begins here and now when we follow Jesus not when we die and go to heaven. Jesus teaches that heaven and hell are choices we make right now and those choices may have eternal consequences.
