When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.

We would say homosexuality is not the original design for sexuality. Therefore, it’s not good for human flourishing. We want people to do things that are good for human flourishing. But that’s not what sends you to heaven or Hell.

Even if our own troubles are great, we should still serve. Jesus washed His disciples feet on the way to the cross.

If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishioners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did.

If the church does not identify with the marginalized, it will itself be marginalized. This is God's poetic justice.

Big cities have a lot of 'younger brothers' who have left traditional parts of the world and their families for a more liberal lifestyle. But cities are filled to the gills with 'elder brothers' too.

We get angry when we feel like God owes us a better life than we have.
