Too lofty to attain
"In literal terms the Annunciation can only confound us. But the whole story of Jesus is confounding to the literal-minded. It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practised believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious 'impossible' which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his mighty actions comprehensible to our finite minds. It is not that the power to understand is not available to us; it is; he has promised it."
- Madeleine L'Engle, 1980, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art, 82.
"Indescribable uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God"
- Laura Story, 2004, "Indescribable"

Shying away
In reading yesterday's new Boundless articles, I came across this:
"Christians have no right to be embarrassed when it comes to talking about sex and sexuality. An unhealthy reticence or embarrassment in dealing with these issues is a form of disrespect to God's creation. Whatever God made is good, and every good thing God made has an intended purpose that ultimately reveals His own glory. When conservative Christians respond to sex with ambivalence or embarrassment, we slander the goodness of God and hide God's glory which is intended to be revealed in the right use of creation's gifts."

Christ at the centre
I was browsing my denomination's website and I found a saying that I'd heard before but didn't get a chance to post regarding differences within the body of Christ:
Unity in Essentials,
Liberty in Non-Essentials,
Charity in All Things.
