Sermon: Sighs and Wonders by Pastor Mark Harper

“ ‘Isn’t love enough?’ (Jesus) asks John. ‘No,’ John answers angrily. ‘The tree is rotten. God called me and gave me the ax, which I then placed at the roots of the tree. I did my duty. Now you do yours: Take the ax and strike!’ ‘If I were fire, I would burn,’ Jesus says. ‘If I were a woodcutter, I would strike; but I am a heart, and I love.’” - Nikos Kazantzakis, The Last Temptation of Christ

“Like it or not, the gospel is a story unleashed. Even Jesus had trouble keeping a lid on it … And that makes some people nervous. That makes me nervous.

Testimonies: What Has Happened to Us

“From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says: Disarm, Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence vindicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of council. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take council with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after his own kind the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God.”

-Julia Ward Howe, “Mothers’ Day Proclamation,” 1870
