Pastor Tim Olson

“True Easter faith is the work of the Spirit, for believing in Christ's resurrection doesn't mean affirming a historical fact, and saying `Oh really?' It means being seized by the life-giving Spirit and experiencing `the powers of the world to come' (Heb. 6.5) in our own living and dying.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Source of Life: The Holy Spirit And The Theology Of Life

“Mission doesn't mean `compelling them to come in'! It is the invitation to God's future and to hope for the new creation of all things: `Behold, I am making all things new' - and you are invited to this divine future for the world! In God's Spirit you can already anticipate now this becoming-new which God will complete on his day. Once a passion for God's future
replaces a passion for the spread of the church we shall stop exporting our ugly European and American church divisions, and extending religious denominationalism instead of hope for the kingdom of God.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Source of Life: The Holy Spirit And The Theology Of Life

“It is only as a unity in diversity that the Christian community will become an inviting community in a society which is otherwise pretty uniform. Creation is motley and diverse, and the new creation even more so.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Source of Life: The Holy Spirit And The Theology Of Life

“Anyone who believes in the power of God and the power of Satan can surely not be viewed as a pure monotheist.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Sun of Righteousness, Arise!: God's Future for Humanity and the Earth
