“God is not attracted to mountaintops or church steeples. God is drawn to suffering, and the dark places it surfaces.”
“Let God Himself be the main attraction at church again, and let us be tireless in our insistence that church is for God, about God, through God, and to the glory of His great Son.”
“The dark Gods of pain are surfacing from the immemorial filth of time...”
“I sought to hear the voice of God and climbed the topmost steeple, but God declared: "Go down again - I dwell among the people.”
“Even with tortured minds and broken spirits, even bound to the Surface, they ached for God's presence. It would be like being drawn back into the womb. It would be rest. It was the only real redemption there was.”
“There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages.”
