God has a mind and purpose of his own. A God who does not have intentions is no God.

 
We all know God. God is in the world, ever active, the driving force behind everything that happens.

Everything! In what we call bad as well as good. We may not understand, we may not agree, but he’s the one in charge.

 
Whether we recognise it or not. At the least conscious level, God is the assumption we make that a good life for us is possible.

However, we only meet the living God in the world as it is, in the common place, among all sorts and conditions of people.

He kept finding God at work where, as a Jew, he didn’t expect it - with the Samaritan woman, a Roman Centurion and a Phoenician woman.

 
He never spoke of religion but to condemn it. Thus, he offended the official ‘god’ people and they nailed him for it. Religion
