Reflection:
The Greek, krisis, literally means to divide. A crisis is something that confronts you with a choice; you must respond by going in one direction or another. This is how Jesus talked about judgment.
~ James Montgomery Boice
“The practice of non-violence requires a belief in divine vengeance.”
“Two false images of God are particularly irresistible to many of us – mostly unconsciously. The first I’ll designate as God the negotiator and the other, God the Santa Claus.”
~ Miroslav Volf
