During my time in the entourages of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, I never saw either of them attack and punish those who disagree, as Dobson does on a regular basis.

Real love cannot be silent in the face of injustice.

In my lowest moments, when I genuinely longed for death, I knew that Jesus would walk with me through that valley as well.

When you stand with the outcasts, you stand with Jesus, and when you despise the outcast, you despise Jesus, as well. Becoming an activist is simply a matter of putting love into action.

The words 'God is love' conclude a biblical warning, not a warm and fuzzy slogan. 'He who doesn't love [his neighbor] doesn't love God, for God is love.'

There's something in the cross that says this is not just about my "salvation" but about the "salvation" of all those who suffer injustice and inequality.

Every time I so much as blink you get an erection.

Today’s warm houses will be the cold ruins in the very distant future!

When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking.

The principles of justice are chosen behind a veil of ignorance.

Never trust a shiny surface. They hide a multitude of flaws.

Did I throw the most important thing perhaps, by accident, away?

Through love the devil becomes an angel. Through love stones become soft as butter. Through love grief is like delight. Through love demons become the servants of God.
