But we preach Christ crucified: scandal for the Jews, folly for the Greeks.
1 Corinthians 1:23
“The living church is to the forms of its self-representation what a parasite is to its host; the orchid that blooms would not have a “presence” but for the tree that hosts it, yet it does not blossom because of the tree. The host is the law, but the bud and its blossoming are the gospel.”
