  1. The Big Picture Follow Me

  2. “The Christian way of seeing things makes cognitive and existential sense of reality, offering us a powerful, persuasive, and attractive account of ourselves and our universe. Christianity does not simply make sense to us; it also makes sense of us. It positions us in the great narrative of cosmic history and locates us on a mental map of meaning. It offers us another way of seeing things, offers us another way of living, and invites us to share these.” ~ Alister McGrath, Surprised by Meaning, Conclusion

  3. “Christian ethics is about following this Jew from Nazareth, being a part of his people. Therefore, this ethics will probably not make much sense unless one knows that story, sees that vision, is part of that people. … It is not something that comes naturally. It can only be learned.” ~ Stanley Hauerwas & William Willimon, Resident Aliens, ch. 5
