“We don’t want the child to view our admiration of them as conditional, as transactional—as coming only when they do something good. We want them to know we value them no matter what. Simply by virtue of being human and in community with other humans, they are of immeasurable intrinsic value.”

“The next day, Phil, the kids, and I went to my parents’ house for a New Year’s Day lunch. As we were leaving, my father came outside to the driveway. He walked around to the passenger side of my car and gave me a hug. Then he looked at me and with steel in his voice said, “Defend the republic, daughter.” “I will, Dad,” I said. “Always.”

“The idea of developing Christian doctrine may seem strange to those who believe firmly in God’s revelation of himself through Christ, given once and for all. But theology, don’t forget, is not synonymous with God’s revelation itself; rather, theology is our human understanding of God’s revelation and our effort to express it clearly in teaching and preaching.”
