Christian faith is... basically about love and being loved and reconciliation. These things are so important, they're foundational and they can transform individuals, families.

Faith in God offers no insurance against tragedy.

People want to go back to those old days, but it's probably not going to happen.

Repentance, not proper behavior or even holiness, is the doorway to grace. And the opposite of sin is grace, not virtue.

There is but one true Giver in the universe; all else are debtors.

We tend to think, 'Life should be fair because God is fair.' But God is not life. And if I confuse God with the physical reality of life- by expecting constant good health for example- then I set myself up for crashing disappointment.

Life with God is an individual matter, and general formulas do not easily apply.
