If God is not at the center of your life, something else is.

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

The image of God carries with it the right not to be mistreated or harmed.... Regardless of their record or character, all human beings have an irreducible glory and significance to them, because God loves them.... So we must treasure each and every human being as a way of showing due respect for the majesty of their owner and Creator.

We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.

Easter means that Christmas worked.

When pain and suffering come upon us, we finally see not only that we are not in control of our lives but that we never were.

You can only afford to be generous if you actually have some money in the bank to give. In the same way, if your only source of love and meaning is your spouse, then anytime he or she fails you, it will not just cause grief but a psychological cataclysm. If, however, you know something of the work of the Spirit in your life, you have enough love "in the bank" to be generous to your spouse even when you are not getting much affection or kindness at the moment.
