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.

Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.

Jesus came into this world not as a philosopher or a general but as a carpenter. All work matters to God.

When people say, "God is love," I think they mean that love is extremely important, or that God really wants us to love. But in Christian conception, God really has love as his essence.

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

The Gospel is news of what God has done to reach us. It is not advice about what we must do to reach God.
