One person told me that Christians believe in a king. We believe in a King Jesus who oversees the affairs of mankind. Maybe we're reaching for an earthly king.

Those who successfully go through tough times do so because they keep insisting.

I don't think God is a gender. He presents himself as a father but he comes to us with the tenderness of a mother. In some of the parables, he is the housewife who cleans the house looking for the lost coin. So I think we can miss the point if we get too concerned about the gender of God.

Biblically defined marriage is a man and a woman for life, and so anything different than that is not God's ideal whether it be polygamy, whether it be divorce, whether it be a marriage between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. The ideal would be a man and a woman under a covenant of God's blessing.

Religion is intended to facilitate hope and faith. Much like a path is intended to facilitate a journey.

God loves people just the way they are, but He loves them too much to leave them that way!

History is not an endless succession of meaningless circles but a directed movement toward a great event.
