All I know is, if I don't care about the poor, if my church doesn't care about the poor, that's evil.

In the christian view, the ultimate evidence for the existence of God is Jesus Christ. If there is a God, we characters in his play have to hope that he put some information about himself in the play. But Christians believe he did more than give us information. He wrote himself into the play as the main character in history, when Jesus was born in a manger and rose from the dead.

Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.

If I have the smile of God, all other frowns are inconsequential.

The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.

Jesus is the ultimate Job, the only truly innocent sufferer.

God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.
