John 14:15-21

In the reaffirmation of the baptismal covenant, we commit to imaginations that are captive to love and not fear. We commit to the hard work or reorienting our imaginations around resurrections and not death, hope and not despair.

Ephesians 4:1-6, 25-32

Our own purposes and agendas and neuroses and wound-licking will never, ever, ever compare to unity in that Spirit. We will never be fed by our own grievances or resentment or apathy; but as we are united in the Spirit, plunged into deeper, mature ministry, we will find our souls transfixed.
