Faith is not being sure where you're going, but going anyway.

I don't think Christ would give a hoot whether you mentioned Christ to them or not. What matters - I'm speaking arrogantly and absurdly - to him is, are you living the kind of life that I embodied? Whether you believe in Christ or don't, who cares?

Pray anyway. Who knows what God can do through your prayer?

The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.

Theology, like fiction, is largely autobiographical.

To believe is not intellectual assent: "Yes, I believe in Jesus. I will sign my name to the Nicene Creed. I believe it all" - which you could do, [but] it would have no effect on who you were or what you did. It is, rather, to give your heart.

The trouble with really seeing and really hearing is that then we really have to do something about what we have seen and heard.
