Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.

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.

I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.

Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!

I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.

Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.

Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.
