Love has no limits. Compassion has no party. It is the responsibility of every human being and every institution to end poverty and to interrupt injustice.

Governments can do lots of things, but there are a lot of things they cannot do. A government can provide good housing, but folks can have a house without having a home. We can keep people breathing with good health care, but they still may not really be alive.

There are some things to die for but none to kill for.

Our churches should attract the people Jesus attracted and frustrate the people Jesus frustrated.

When the church takes affairs of the state more seriously than they do Jesus, Pax Romana becomes its gospel and the president becomes the Son of God.

[Jesus] said that they will know we are Christians - not by our bumper stickers and T-shirts - but by our love.

Prayer is not so much about convincing God to do what we want God to do as it is about convincing ourselves to do what God wants us to do.
