As I've taught our congregation, within the Christian faith the question of homosexuality is not a question of biblical authority, but biblical interpretation.

Jesus' own witness of sacrificial love and forgiveness, and his work to heal the sick and care for those in need, represent God's ways and vision for us.

As a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.

I am a pastor, and I teach and preach the Bible to my congregation every week. But the Bible is not a manufacturer's handbook. Neither is it a science textbook nor a guidebook for public policy.

Hope is a decision we make, a choice to believe that God can take the adversity, the disappointment, the heartache, and the pain of our journeys and use these to accomplish his purposes.

If 'everything happens for a reason,' then every act of evil is ultimately God's doing.

We are all more similar than we usually realize. So much of the suffering we do in our life is because of obsession with self.

We live in bodies that are fearfully and wonderfully made, yet they are not immune to illness and pain. We have hearts that are capable of experiencing great love, but sometimes they get broken.

Christians believe that God is everywhere and is involved in our lives at every moment, whether we publicly acknowledge God or not.

The Bible calls us to love our neighbors, and to do justice and love kindness, not to indiscriminately kill one another.

While some misuse their freedom to perpetrate evil, millions respond by feeling compelled to use their freedom to do good.

Women are perfectly well aware that the more they seem to obey the more they rule.

Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well and yet words are not deeds.

I remember watching Gilda Radner when I was a kid and everyone thought she was so funny and no one ever said that she was a funny woman, she was just funny.

In order to win, you must play your best golf when you need it most, and play your sloppy stuff when you can afford it. I shall not attempt to explain how you achieve this happy timing.

Concepts antedate facts.

I am not allowing myself to get carried away.
