There is knowledge of God and the spiritual nature of man, as well as other types of reality..., that are not reducible to the world dealt with by the so-called "natural" sciences. The idea that knowledge - and, of course, reality - is limited to that world is the single most destructive idea on the stage of life today.

The greatest danger to the Christian church today is that of pitching its message too low.

God's aim in human history is the creation of an inclusive community of loving persons, with himself included as its primary sustainer and most glorious inhabitant.

Does Christ commend the famous 'apathy' of the Stoic or the Buddhist elimination of desire? Far from it. The issue is not just feeling or desire, but right feeling or desire, or being controlled by feeling or desire.

When Jesus directs us to pray, "Thy kingdom come," he does not mean we should pray for it to come into existence.

When we are formed inwardly, outer issues do become much more manageable.

The Great Commission is still the mission statement of the Church.
