Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.

To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible’s teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldn’t have any views that upset you. Does that belief make sense? If you don’t trust the Bible enough to let it challenge and correct your thinking, how could you ever have a personal relationship with God? In any truly personal relationship, the other person has to be able to contradict you.

If you wait until your motives are pure and unselfish before you do something, you will wait forever.

Proper wedding vows are more a promise of mutually binding future love than a declaration of your present love.

Work is taking the raw material of creation and developing it for the sake of others.

The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.

Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
