I am often criticized, or at least questions are raised, about what appears to be the absence of the Holy Spirit in my work.

I have assumed my clear commitment to a Trinitarian orthodoxy was sufficient evidence that I have not intentionally ignored the role of the Holy Spirit. It may be true, however, that my work has been so Christ-centred, I may have given the impression that the Holy Spirit is an afterthought.

The basis for the ethics of the Sermon on the Mount is not what works, but rather who God is.

Church growth strategies are the death gurgle of a church that has lost its way.

I simply cannot get over what a surprising and wonderful life God has given me.

If I were a person who was non-American, I would think humanitarian intervention is just another name for United States imperialism.
