I think that at the core of faith is trust.

The Bible tells a story. A story that isn’t over. A story that is still being told. A story that we have a part to play in.

God has spoken, and everything else is commentary.

I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man.

I like to say that I practice militant mysticism. I'm really absolutely sure of some things that I don't quite know.

The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.

When people use the word hell, what do they mean? They mean a place, an event, a situation absent of how God desires things to be. Famine, debt, oppression, loneliness, despair, death, slaughter--they are all hell on earth. Jesus' desire for his followers is that they live in such a way that they bring heaven to earth. What's disturbing is when people talk more about hell after this life than they do about Hell here and now. As a Christian, I want to do what I can to resist hell coming to earth.
