Sin was conquered on the cross. Christ's death is the foundation of our hope, the promise of our triumph.

All mankind is crying out for guidance, for comfort, for peace.

The reason we have this inner conviction that death is not the end - and that Heaven exists - is because we were created in the image of God.

All too often we are more afraid of physical pain than of moral wrong. The cross is the standing evidence of the fact that holiness is a principle for which God would die.

God measures people by the small dimensions of humility and not by the bigness of their achievements or the size of their capabilities.

In the founding era of our country, it was not organized religion but personal faith that brought focus and unified the early leadership-maybe an unspoken faith in God, and certain values that came with that faith. So in that sense, we cannot discount, in my judgment, religious faith in politics.

The seed of sin is in us when we are born.
