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

If your faith is threatened by something that's true, then it wasn't much of a faith to begin with, was it?

What we do comes out of who we believe we are.

Often times when I meet atheists and we talk about the god they don’t believe in, we quickly discover that I don’t believe in that god, either.

This breath, and this moment, and this life is a gift and we are all in this together. We all have countless choices every day to close down or stand up straight and open up, and take a big breath and say YES to the gift.

Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.

Being a pastor for 20 years I realized that the labels, agnostic, atheist, believer, everybody's human and everybody wants to know what kind of universe we're living in, and everybody's living according to a story.
