“As Christians, we have to be careful about how we label people. When we portray others in a demeaning light, we sin against them and reveal our own lack of wisdom (Proverbs 11:12). Discrediting a group might help us win an argument, but if it belittles our neighbor, it's wrong.”

“For Professor John Inazu, humility does not reflect a lack of conviction, but rather reflects "the limits of translation, and the difficulty of proving our deeply held values to one another... Humility also recognizes that our human faculties are inherently limited - our ability to think, reason and reflect is less than perfect, a limitation that leaves open the possibility that we are wrong.”

“All incivility is, at its root, preceded by dehumanization. Incivility is toxic because it stems from a lapse in the recognition of human dignity: recognition of the dignity of others or recognition of one's own dignity.”

“Our purpose in civic engagement is not to make our own names great but to make known the greatness of the One who sends us. Our great desire is to be agents of the will of God in the earth, distribution centers for the love of God toward his creation.”
