Many of the most significant moments in our lives come not because it all went right but because it all fell apart

When someone sets out to be controversial or provocative or shocking as an end in itself, I don't think that's a noble goal.

It often takes suffering and lost in order to remind us of how precious life is.

Jesus is bigger than any one religion. He didn't come to start a new religion, and he continually disrupted whatever conventions or systems or establishments that existed in his day. He will always transcend whatever cages and labels are created to contain and name him, especially the one called "Christianity.

Look at the size of the universe and look at what we're discovering about string theory. There's a wide-eyed sense of we're just getting started here.

God gives us what we want. For people who want nothing to do with peace, joy, reconciliation and peace... God will give you what you want. I see people make unbelievably destructive choices.

Many people confuse religion with God and walk away from them both. The point isn't Christianity, the point is being a Christian.
