Religion says earn your life. Secular society says create your life. Jesus says, 'My life for your life.

We are saved by a man who died loving his enemies.

If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.

All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.

Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel of Jesus lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.

The happy ending of the Resurrection is so enormous that it swallows up even the sorrow of the Cross.

We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order.
