My parents were both very intellectually honest, straightforward, and for them, faith meant that you were fully engaged.

I think that at the core of faith is trust.

Doctrine is a wonderful servant and a horrible master.

Questions are not scary. What is scary is when people don’t have any. What is tragic is faith that has no room for them.

Swords appear strong, but they're actually quite weak. Jesus appears weak, but he's actually quite strong.

A good sermon is going to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. It inspires you. It provokes you. It should make your soul soar.
