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

We need to stop building our churches around categories and start building them around people.

If same-sex relationships are really sinful, then why do they so often produce good fruit-loving families, open homes, self-sacrifice, commitment, faithfulness, joy? And if conservative Christians are really right in their response to same-sex relationships, then why does that response often produce bad fruit-secrets, shame, depression, loneliness, broken families, and fear?

The church is the last place we want to be sold another product, the last place we want to be entertained.

The truth is, a man can choose to objectify a woman whether she’s wearing a bikini or a burqa. We don’t stop lust by covering up the female form; we stop lust by teaching men to treat women as human beings worthy of respect.

Faith isn't about having everything figured out ahead of time; faith is about following the quiet voice of God without having everything figured out ahead of time.

Scripture doesn't speak of people who found God. Scripture speaks of people who walked with God.
