In some sense we are all hypocrites in transition.

If our children are going to walk away from Christ, we need to raise them in such a way that they understand that to walk away from Jesus is to walk away from a life of faith, risk and adventure and to choose a life that boring, mundane and ordinary

The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

When we lack integrity, we use power to control. When we lead with integrity, we use power to bless.

Far too often, when we think we are frightened by mystery, the fact is that we are haunted by history.

I am convinced most Americans - yes even white Americans - are committed to justice and equality for all people. I am convinced that most Americans are disgusted and even ashamed that Nazism is alive and well in this country that fought to defeat its evil ideology.

My goal is to destroy Christianity.
