Stephen Finlan's Sermons and Book excerpts
Preaching the Gospel of Jesus, in Spirit and in Truth
Quote of the week
“There are not two Gods, one jealous, Whom we must fear, and one merciful, in Whom we must place our hope. . . . The supreme expression of His justice is to forgive. . . . He is, above all, the God of those who can hope where there is no hope.”
— Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island, p. 21
