A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.

A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!

To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.

God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.

It is remarkable that in all of his writings Paul's prayers for his friends contain no appeals for changes in their circumstances.

The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but "What has Jesus done for you?"

If your fundamental is a man dying on the cross for his enemies, if the very heart of your self-image and your religion is a man praying for his enemies as he died for them, sacrificing for them, loving them - if that sinks into your heart of hearts, it's going to produce the kind of life that the early Christians produced. The most inclusive possible life out of the most exclusive possible claim - and that is this is the truth. But what is the truth? The truth is a God become weak, loving and dying for the people who opposed him, dying forgiving them.
