I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person.

You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.

Be nice to the whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.

It means a great deal to those who are oppressed to know that they are not alone. And never let anyone tell you that what you are doing is insignificant.

There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in.

When you think of the KKK, they actually have as their emblem a fiery cross. And they don't see any contradiction between the cross, an instrument of suffering that procured our reconciliation with God, and its use as a symbol for nefarious attacks on black people. But they believe that they are being obedient to God because they can read things that they see.

Hate has no place in the house of God.
