Every time you make a bad choice, it becomes harder to make a good one.

My hermeneutics is when I see verses in Scripture that are "apparent" contradictions - I don't believe they are contradictions - I believe them both. I believe them both. I believe take up your cross and deny yourself and follow me, and I believe come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. They are different sides of the same thing.

At first opposites attract. Then opposites attack.

To me, thinking with the mind of Christ means to be thinking in light of eternity, which is what Colossians is all about; and that our lives are hid with Christ in God and that eternity, we're going to spend far more time on the other side of death than this side.

I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other religions.

If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.

I believe that - love is a choice. I believe that we love, that if I'm forced to love you then I don't know that I've really loved you.
