Disciples are those who have been so ravished with Christ that others want to be like them.

God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.

Now, of course, you have guidance devices and all sorts of things. The soul would be more like the way this is all hooked together, a system of coordination.

Theology is just what you really think about God, and if you're going to do that, you'd better use your mind and not just let it be a receptacle - a catch-all for whatever beliefs happen to be passing by.

We cannot handle injustice by finding more ways to impose what is in fact "right" on people. It has to come from the inside. And that's where the church should be working.

What is reality? The answer Jesus gives to this question is: God and his kingdom. That is what you can count on and what you have to come to terms with.

It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.
