They flow from the unfailing love of God. And the price of that love, is vulnerability.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rmadisonj.blogspot.com/2008/12/heaven-and-earth-will-pass-away.html">Fanatics tell us violence is the only way to peace, that war is the only way to safety, that death is always deserving for people who are not like us. Fanatics tell us that our principals are what make us great, but those principles must not hold us back from using barbarism in the name of civilization because, after all, savagery is all "they" understand. Where, then, is room for the unfailing love of God, for the vulnerability of love that leads to justice and right on the earth, for the power of powerlessness?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rmadisonj.blogspot.com/2008/12/heaven-and-earth-will-pass-away.html">Herod thought it was a zero-sum game, that it was him or the child. And which do we worship? The child? Or the King who would kill him? Are we the helpless? Or are we the act of God?</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8F7E3B26-F242-4C04-B04E-D303B71F3F83/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
