God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don't feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you always. No matter what!

I'd like to think I'm going upriver in talking about world-view topics rather than particular political or controversial topics.

Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three- piece suit.

I think "creative preaching" is redundant.

I think there is something about a story that is enduring. Stories take on a life of their own.

God loves us too much to indulge our every whim.

God's goal is not to get what you want; it is to get you what you need.
