Some opportunities are a calling. Others are a distraction. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

The problem is that tolerant has changed its meaning. It used to mean 'I may disagree with you completely, but I will treat you with respect.

He doesn't approve of everything I do, or you do, or anybody else does either. You can be accepting without being approving.

The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.

War is and always has been a brutal exercise that destroys lives, families and communities. It is never something for which we hope.
