regeneration

The Doctor is all of us, he lives and dies as all of us, and we need him to _ because no matter the anvil-imagery of the Doctor as Christ, this is actually a far older and far simpler story than that. Everything changes. We all regenerate. I am not the same woman who first saw Rose ascend. Years go by and I become someone new, with the same memories but a new face, a new self.

Love it, Do it, Be in it, Become it until it regenerates in your legacy.

I knew that the Name was still with him, animating his soul, even as his body failed.

Wherever there is __aith_ without regeneration it has to be that the uncured enmity of the natural man to spiritual things remains.

I think that, when I die, it might be some time until I know it.

Christian holiness consists not of trying as hard as we can to be good but of learning to live in the new world created by Easter, the new world we publicly entered in our baptism. There are many parts of the world we can__ do anything about except pray. But there is one part of the world, one part of physical reality, that we can do something about, and that is the creature each of us call __yself.

I changed. I have been turning into a different person since that half-minute.

No art like the art displayed in our salvation, no cunning workmanship like that beheld in the righteousness of the saints. Justification has engrossed learned pens in all ages of the church, and will be the theme of admiration in eternity.

The Resurrection is not a single event, but a loosening of God's power and light into the earth and history that continues to alter all things, infusing them with the grace and power of God's own holiness. It is as though a door was opened, and what poured out will never be stopped, and that door cannot be closed.

This is the love of God, an alchemy that can turn enemies into children.

His (Paul's) entire personality within mutation. He was being turned inside out as he led Jesus light the recesses of his soul.

one of the great virtues of Christianity, according to (John)Wesley, is the way it fills up our every waking hour. Both (N.T.) Wright and Wesley write that Christianity is not just about what God does for us but what God does in us.

Having appeared at the end of the first creation, man [and women] stand at the beginning of the second, since the world is transfigured through [them].

My countenance in my old-age does injustice to my heart. John Quincy Adams

Advent creates people, new people.

George Foreman looks as if he might have organically appeared out of the very ground around the church.

The Word, the Gospel, creates not just people individually but A people collectively

Cross and resurrection are the South and North polls, true gospel polarities, of a single, undivided, salvation world. Remove either Paul and you've got salvation.
