Nature is God's workshop. The sky is his resume. The universe is his calling card. You want to know who God is? See what he has done.

I think that a church should be setting the pace for social justice.

The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world.

To me that's always a little satisfying - to find an underdeveloped topic and start developing it.

God's love never ceases. Never. Though we spurn him. Ignore him. Reject him. Despise him. Disobey him. He will not change. Our evil cannot diminish his love. Our goodness cannot increase it. Our faith does not earn it any more than our stupidity jeopardizes it. God doesn't love us less if we fail or more if we succeed. God's love never ceases.

When words are most empty, tears are most apt.

Our task is to stand tall in God's love, secure in our place, sparkling in kindness, surrounded by his goodness, freely giving to all who come our way. You, me, and the Christmas tree. Picked, purchased, and pruned.
