...Seattle has unleashed this weird phenomenon on the world called the coffee shop. And the coffee shop, thanks to Starbucks, is the place where socially isolated, lonely, needy people gather together to ignore one another.

Much of spirituality today is an effort to change God to suit us. But he's not going to become more like us, we need to become more like him.

You know what I find amazing is within Christianity it is not uncommon to find [married] people who don't have sexual intimacy, don't have emotional intimacy, don't have spiritual intimacy, don't pray together, don't do their life together, don't put their schedules together, don't put their budgets together, but they don't get divorced. So they can pat themselves on the back and say, 'We're good Christians.' They're divorced in everything but the paperwork.

You don't need to beat yourself up in order to make God love you. Jesus already took your beating.

If you really want to be a rebel, get a job, cut your grass, read your bible, and shut up. Because no one is doing that.

Some will tell you that there are multiple worldviews. The Bible says we have only 2: the Truth and the Lie.

Ultimately I think the difference between reading the Bible and studying it is making the connections between who Jesus is and what he's done.
