Plenty of church members are shaky about what they believe, while not many are shaken by what they believe.

We need a dedicated minority who, like the apostles of old, are willing to be called the scum of the earth and a spectacle to the world for the scandal of the cross.

The Word of God is either absolute or obsolete.

Another thing I liked about my Dad at church: he did his sleeping at home. He never used the church as an adult nursery.

We have always needed old people to keep things from going too fast and young people to keep them from going too slow. Youth has fire and age has light and we need both.

If we don't come apart; we will come apart.

Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.
