It seems almost oxymoronic to believe that this new idealism has led to a new pessimism about marriage, but that is exactly what has happened. In generations past there was far less talk about "compatibility" and finding the ideal soul mate. Today we are looking for someone who accepts us as we are and fulfills our desires, and this creates an unrealistic set of expectations that frustrates both the searchers and the searched for.

Christianity is not just for the strong; it's for everyone.

But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.

If Christianity is really true it will be offending and correcting you somewhere.

If you are a child of God, you don’t lose your status if you have a bad week.

The church is often like a football stadium where 22 people need a rest and thousands of people need exercise.

Those who condemn the self-righteous for the sake of self-discovery do so with ironic self-righteousness.
