I think that at the core of faith is trust.

People have a view of a God who is terrible that they can't even imagine being loving or wanting anything to do with.

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

I have met countless people who call themselves Christians who don't appear to have any living breathing vibrant connection with the resurrected Christ and I've met countless people from every religious background including atheists that tell me of their very personal and real experiences of the living Christ. I don't have people asking me why they should believe something - that's starting off on the wrong foot to say the least.

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

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

Often the people most concerned about others going to hell when they die seem less concerned with the hells on earth right now, while the people most concerned with the hells on earth right now seem the least concerned about hell after death.
