“They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.” (1 Timothy 6:18-19 NRSV)
God cares about whether the transforming truth of Jesus Christ changes people -- and changes the world through them… In the lessons Jesus taught, the people He touched, the suffering He relieved, the forgiveness He offered, the justice He proclaimed, the life He lived, the sacrifice He made, the death He died, and the new life He revealed is "the life that really is life." …The Holy Spirit knits people into communities that continue the life and witness of Christ.
-- Robert Schnase in “The Future of The United Methodist Church: 7 Vision Pathways”
