And God, who can’t be fooled by any pretense on

our part but always knows a person’s thoughts,

gave them the Holy Spirit exactly as he gave him

to us. He treated the outsiders exactly as he

treated us, beginning at the very center of who

they were and working from that center outward,

cleaning up their lives as they trusted and believed

him. (Acts 15:6)

God holds the High center, He sees and sets the world’s mess right.

Psalm 9:7

“But seek first the kingdom of God

and His righteousness, and all these

things shall be added to you”

(Matthew 6:33).

God didn’t send me out to collect a following for myself, but to preach the Message of what he

has done, collecting a following for him. And he didn’t send me to do it with a lot of fancy

rhetoric of my own, lest the powerful action at the center—Christ on the Cross—be trivialized

into mere words.

(1 Corinthians 1:17)

The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus

was irate and let them know it: “Don’t push these children away. Don’t ever get between them and me.

These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God’s kingdom

in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.” Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands

of blessing on them. (Mark 10:13)

Romans 12:9 ‘Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice

playing second fiddle.’
