I would not have said anything about Mr. Trump, never - I would never have said anything if he didn't call himself a Christian. It'd be none of my business whatsoever to make any comments about his language, his vulgarities, his slander of people, but I was deeply troubled ... that here's a man who holds up a Bible one day, and calls a lady "bimbo" the next.

I think you could say every pastor is writing this book [ Max on Life]; for many it just never gets published.

It's okay to rest. Jesus fights when you cannot.

So immediately I'm trying to think: What are some of these times when we feel we're losing our hold on Christ, and what's the fear we're trying to address? I try to get into that quickly.

Matthew loved the magi. He gave their story more square inches of text than he gave the narrative of the birth of Jesus. He never mentions the shepherds or the manger, but he didn't want us to miss the star and the seekers. It's easy to see why. Their story is our story.

Those in the circle of Christ had no doubt of his love; those in our circles should have no doubt about ours.

I try to be honest; I really do try not to exaggerate the story. I try to be accurate.
