"The principle [of the beatitudes] is simple. the poor have no means of their own the become rich, or the powerless to gain power. But the rich and powerful have within themselves the possibility of becoming poor. Salvation offered only to winners will, by definition, exclude many. Only salvation offered to losers - whether by circumstance or choice - can be described as comprehensive. There is nothing you don't have that can bar you from entry to this Kingdom - only the things you have might keep you out."

NB Joyce Meyer just noticed something I had never seen...the armor in Ephesians six is all for the front of the body. God does not expect to see us running but has equipped us to STAND and to FACE that which we come up against. It is armoor for standing, not for running. Wow.

Found your post after getting a Google Alert for "Gerard Kelly" linking to it. I am a bit of a groupie for all things "Gerard". I am part of a team of 4 who are currently using "Humanifesto" as the source material for a monthly All Age Worship event at church. Notes from those events are on the blog. Great choice of book. Another great choice would be Gerard's "6 Habits of Highly Connected Christians". I and the family went on mission to France with Gerard's organisation (Bless) 2 summers ago. All Gerard's sermons at his church in Amsterdam (Crossroads) are available free of charge from their web site and well worth a listen. If you need any more info let me know.
