Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.

All change comes from deepening your understanding of the salvation of Christ and living out the changes that understanding creates in your heart.

Jesus does not divide the world into the moral "good guys" and the immoral "bad guys". He shows us that everyone is dedicated to a project of self-salvation, to using God and others in order to get power and control for themselves. We are just going about it in different ways. Even though both sons are wrong, however, the father cares for them and invites them both back into his love and feast.

Everyone worships something. The only choice you get is what to worship.

People only get in the afterlife what they have most wanted-either to have God as Savior and Master or to be their own Saviors and Masters.

The human race doesn't need more books telling them what to do. They need the power to do what they already know.

Honor the image of God. Human beings are not accidents, but creations.
