People who cannot restrain their own baser instincts, who cannot treat one another with civility, are not capable of self-government... without virtue, a society can be ruled only by fear, a truth that tyrants understand all too well

God uses prisons to train people for future roles of leadership or martyrdom.

Culture is religion incarnate.

I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.

Removing religious symbols from public places is not neutrality. On the contrary, it sends a highly negative message - that religion is something shameful, embarrassing, or at best strictly private.

The church's job is to equip the saints for works of service in the world.

You are called not to be successful or to meet any of the other counterfeit standards of this world, but to be faithful and to be expended in the cause of serving the risen and returning Christ.
