I actually think there is hell because we see hell every day.

We live in the midst of a creation that is groaning.

I think the church needs – I think this is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are.

The life that you want begins the moment you embrace the life you have because all of it is a miracle.

It often appears that those who talk the most about going to heaven when you die talk the least about bringing heaven to earth right now, as Jesus taught us to pray: 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' At the same time, it often appears that those who talk the most about relieving suffering now talk the least about heaven when we die.

Your job is the relentless pursuit of who God made you to be. And anything else you do is sin and you need to repent of it.

I believe that God is with you, that there is a presence. I believe this God is for you. I don't think the universe is a cold, dead place that is indifferent.
