I contend the state ought to do its thing and provide legal rights for all couples who want to be joined together for life. The church should bless unions that it sees fit to bless, and they should be called marriages.

Even if there were no heaven and there were no hell, would you still follow Jesus? Would you follow him for the life, joy and fulfilment he gives you right now?

Artists are the best theologians. They feel things that are true before theologians can jargonize them into obscurity.

The real problem that I think those of us who are evangelicals and Democrats have to face up to is that the political right controls the religious media.

In the past, the Republican Party has depended on unified support at election time from Evangelical Christians. But times are changing!

Whenever there is a catastrophe, some religious people inevitably ask, 'Why didn't God do something? Where was God when all those people died?'

One of the most startling discoveries of my life was the realization that the Jesus that I love, the Jesus who died for me on Calvary, that Jesus, is waiting, mystically and wonderfully, in every person I meet. I find Jesus everywhere.
