“Unless and until we can enjoy this, so much of what passes for Christianity will amount to little more than well-disguised narcissism and self-referential politics.

“God never intended most human beings to become philosophers or theologians, but God does want all humans to represent the very Sympathy and Empathy of God.”

“One of the church’s biggest blind spots is ignoring the stories of those on the outside.”
