Death tries to tell us all sorts of doomed stories. Jesus came so that we might have life. Life with Jesus is about flourishing through formation! Formation requires us to show up, clean house and keep going. -Renée Cunningham
How do we lay hold of the Life Worth Living? The Greatest Commandment: Love the Lord your God. Jesus knows that our lives are ruled by our loves and desires. Order and direct them rightly and we will flourish. Ted Kim tells us how we can do that.

Life with Jesus is the height of human flourishing. It’s the treasure that the man found in the field. It’s life to the full, as Jesus tells us in John 10:10. In short, it’s the good life. What is the substance of this good life? Ted Kim tells us, through the lens of the Apostle Paul in Romans 14:17

As Cindy prepares to retire in August, she reflects on both scripture and her own life to illustrate both the real cost involved and the real gain.
