Truth is always in danger of being sacrificed on the altars of good taste and social stability.

Faith handles the ultimate incongruities of life, humor handles the more immediate ones.

It is a mistake to look to the Bible to close a discussion; the Bible seeks to open one.

The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.

It is terribly important to realize that the leap of faith is not so much a leap of thought as of action. For while in many matters it is first we must see then we will act; in matters of faith it is first we must do then we will know, first we will be and then we will see. One must, in short, dare to act wholeheartedly without absolute certainty.

Socrates had it wrong; it is not the unexamined but finally the uncommitted life that is not worth living.

Jesus is both a mirror to our humanity and a window to divinity, a window revealing as much of God as is given mortal eyes to see. When Christians see Christ empowering the weak, scorning the powerful, healing the wounded, and judging their tormentors, we are seeing transparently the power of God at work.
