The more I get to know Jesus, the more trouble he seems to get me into.

Over and over, when I ask God why all of these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, You tell me why we allow this to happen. You are my body, my hands, my feet.

I engage with local politics because it affects people I love. And I engage in national politics because it affects people I love.

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

It is the church's responsibility, the government's responsibility, and the personal responsibility of every one of us to love.

There's an understanding of common prayer that I think we're seeing grow, more and more. When I travel, I hear from people who are deeply touched that our common prayer takes time to remember some of the terrible tragedies that have happened around the world.

Jesus did not send us into the world to make believers but to make disciples.
