What makes the Gospel offensive isn’t who it keeps out, but who it lets in.

My interpretation can only be as inerrant as I am, and that's good to keep in mind.

Like all who search for truth out of fear, I desperately wanted someone else to tell me exactly what to do.

Perhaps the most radical thing we followers of Jesus can do in the information age is treat each other like humans-not heroes, not villains, not avatars, not statuses, not Republicans, not Democrats, not Calvinists, not Emergents-just humans. This wouldn't mean we would stop disagreeing, but I think it would mean we would disagree well.

But the gospel doesn't need a coalition devoted to keeping the wrong people out. It needs a family of sinners, saved by grace, committed to tearing down the walls, throwing open the doors, and shouting, "Welcome! There's bread and wine. Come eat with us and talk." This isn't a kingdom for the worthy; it's a kingdom for the hungry.

You can't get too far into the Gospels without noticing that Jesus made a pretty lousy apologist.

God and the Gay Christian is a game changer. Prepare to be challenged and enlightened, provoked and inspired.
