Living by faith isn't living with certainty. It's trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.

I really do feel that these people are brothers and sisters in God's family. I am looking to build bridges with the Orthodox Church, looking to build bridges with the Catholic Church, with the Anglican church.

Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.

The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.

He (God) usually prefers to work through people rather than perform miracles, so that we will depend on each other for fellowship.

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.

When you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way.
