Pride is that which claims to be the author of what is really a gift.

The reason the stone was rolled away on Jesus's tomb was not so that Jesus could get out, but so that we could get in.

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.

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

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 Christianity is really true it will be offending and correcting you somewhere.

Prayer turns theology into experience.
