I believe our world desperately needs Good News.

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.

If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, then it isn't good news for anybody.

Suffering, it turns out, demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore.

You can be very religious and invoke the name of God and be able to quote lots of verses and be well versed in complicated theological systems and yet not be a person who sees. It’s one thing to sing about God and recite quotes about God and invoke God’s name; it’s another be aware of the presence in every taste, touch, sound, and embrace. With Jesus, what we see again and again is that it’s never just a person, or just a meal, or just an event, because there’s always more going on just below the surface.

God has spoken, and everything else is commentary.

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.
