We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.

Obviously there have been historically many different theories of the atonement and I think each of them has a part. But I think fundamentally it is the substitutionary understanding that God - Jesus took our payment and you can't understand.

The church must always show compassion, always.

Many believe one can be a "good Christian" without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.

In all my travels, I've never seen a country's population more determined to forgive, and to build and succeed than in Rwanda.

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. Today, tolerant means - 'you must approve of everything I do.' There's a difference between tolerance and approval. Jesus accepted everyone no matter who they were. He doesn't approve of everything I do, or you do, or anybody else does either. You can be accepting without being approving.

The things you’re most embarrassed about, most ashamed of, and most reluctant to share are the very tools God can use most powerfully to heal others
