The church doesn’t have a social strategy, the church is a social strategy.

I confess I take perverse delight as a theologian in the controversies surrounding postmodernism.

Never think that you need to protect God. Because anytime you think you need to protect God, you can be sure that you are worshipping an idol.

For Christians do not place their hope in their children, but rather their children are a sign of their hope . . . that God has not abandoned this world.

Civil religion is the attempt to empower religion, not for the good of religion, but for the creation of the citizen.

The most creative social strategy we have to offer is the church. Here we show the world a manner of life the world can never achieve through social coercion or governmental action. We serve the world by showing it something that it is not, namely, a place where God is forming a family out of strangers.

The narratives of Scripture were not meant to describe our world ... but to change the world, including the one in which we now live.
