The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.

AIDS is the leprosy of the 21st Century. Where did Jesus hang out? With lepers. Jesus would love on people with AIDS.

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

We’re not completely happy here because we’re not supposed to be! Earth is not our final home; we were created for something much better.

My first reaction in pastoral care is not to explain. And again, I don't think the primary purpose of the Bible is to explain suffering. I never have, because the actual explanations are often inadequate. I think the primary purpose of Scripture is to say I am all you need in this suffering and I need comfort.

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

I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.
