One classical role of the pulpit in Protestantism has been to 'preach sermons' which imply indoctrination more than education. Within this from of communication, there is an inherent, intrinsic inclination to intimidate, manipulate, and, hence, offend the person's most prized quality of humanness - his dignity.

Faith is the courage to face reality with hope.

What we need is a theology of salvation that begins and ends with a recognition of every person's hunger for glory.

Have faith in your faith-and doubt your doubts.

The good news is that the bad news can be turned into good news when you change your attitude.

Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.

I see the invisible. I believe the incredible. I attempt the impossible.
