A philosophy may explain difficult things, but has no power to change them. The gospel, the story of Jesus' life, promises change.

Imperfection is the prerequisite for grace. Light only gets in through the cracks.

There is an "offense" to the Gospel no matter how graciously we present it. It includes the message that God, not humanity, is the ultimate judge of right and wrong, and that the choices we make here have eternal consequences.

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will make sense only in reverse.

What you and I think about Jesus and how we respond to Him will determine our destiny for all eternity.

Some who attempt prayer never have the sense of anyone listening on the other end. They blame themselves for doing it wrong.... Prayer requires the faith to believe that God listens.

If Jesus had never lived, we would not have been able to invent him.
