“So next time you look up at the sun, moon and stars and wonder, remember: they are there because God loves, because the Father’s love for the Son burst out that it might be enjoyed by many. And they remain there only because God does not stop loving. He is an attentive Father who numbers every hair on our heads, for whom the fall of every sparrow matters; and out of love he upholds all things through his Son, and breathes out natural life on all through his Spirit.”

“أحيانا يظهر لى بوجهه الجميل فيلقى إلى نظرة رقيقة ويهمس: ’اترك كل شىء واتبعنى‘. قد يلقانى وأنا فى غاية الإحباط، وقد يلقانى وأنا فى غاية السرور، ودائما ينتزع من صدرى الطرب والعصيان. وكلانا لم يعرف اليأس بعد ".”
― Naguib Mahfouz, أصداء السيرة الذاتية

“God’s vision for his people is not for the elimination of ethnicity to form a colorblind uniformity of sanctified blandness. Instead God sees the creation of a community of different cultures united by faith in his Son as a manifestation of the expansive nature of his grace. This expansiveness is unfulfilled unless the differences are seen and celebrated, not as ends unto themselves, but as particular manifestations of the power of the Spirit to bring forth the same holiness among different peoples and cultures for the glory of God.”

“Love is divine ink: miracles are God's signature.”
