We need to advocate for social justice and reform so that all minorities are protected not only under the law but more importantly by our cultural values and ethic. The law cannot change the human heart. Government is limited in its ability to effect culture. This is the role and responsibility of the Church. Only Jesus can move us from hate to love.

Jesus did not have a value for prayer for prayer's sake. He had a value for the intimate communion between God and man.

Two thousand years ago, God started a revolt against the religion He started. So don't ever put it past God to cause a groundswell movement against churches and Christian institutions that bear His name.

Is it possible that the creative act is simply the materialization of the future- making the invisible, visible?

We need both to aspire and accomplish. Without a vision for your life, without a sense of purpose, you will begin to die a slow death.

The limitations you are willing to accept establish the boundaries of your existence.

Racists are not born, they are raised. Isolation is the breeding ground for racism. The more you come to know the world around you and people different than you the less likely you will become an extremist. The Church needs to bring the world together.
