I had the opportunity to preach in Cambridge on Sunday, Kevin was ill for the Sunday. It is one of the favorite things I get to do as Chair: visit societies, preach and visit with people who come together in worship. I love the devoted leaders and members of that church.
It was great. Being in that space and being among all of the saints who have come before and been in that place, preaching the gospel, coming to worship... And still, that experience, that power, the message of our church and its ability to make whole and heal, to make sense of the world, and bring meaning and depth to our lives deserves more.
We so must share this. We must share this message. We must share this church. We must be willing to embarrass, proclaim, put ourselves on the line in uncomfortable ways to share God's love to offer this message to the world. The message is too big and the world so desperately needs it.

Revelation 19
I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and in justice He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire; and upon His head were many diadems; and He hath a name written that no one knew but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood; and His name is called the Word of God. And the armies which were in the heavens followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen white and clean.
