1 John 4:12 (NLT)
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.

If we want to live the values of truth and justice and peace and love, we need to stand by them, whatever others may say. If it matters to us to believe in God, we need to be able to say so, even when everyone else disagrees. Giving It Up, p144

Ephesians 5: 3-4
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

‘Less is More’ Manifesto
I will stop buying things for the sake of it, and look instead where the best things in life are free at the point of need. In the meantime I will examine the things that I call “my” own, and will start to give things away, at a pace I can sustain. I will improve my quality of life without trying to buy it.

Grace
It is understood by Christians to be a spontaneous gift from God to man - "generous, free and totally unexpected and undeserved"Grace', Komonchak et al (eds), Joseph A (1990). The New Dictionary of Theology. Dublin: Gill and Macmillan. p. 437.
![Page 54: SH2014 #SHCulture Day 2 The Unfathomable Father with @sheridanvoysey and @drbexl](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554952ddb4c905f24e8b4c93/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Certainly there are gospel imperatives that none of us can ignore: we must live in love and generosity and we must care for the poor; choosing to follow Christ will, at some level or other, cost us something. Despite that cost, though, God still doesn’t call us to centre our lives in places where we are fundamentally ill at ease. We’re called to find out where we fit best and then follow that way, knowing that it will bring deep-seated challenge as well as joys.Giving It Up, p143
