I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man.

People have a view of a God who is terrible that they can't even imagine being loving or wanting anything to do with.
Rob Bell
Image
We need a childlike trust that God is good... ultimately we are OK. That is a simple, beautiful pure thing that can be complicated ferociously by all sorts of intellectual categories.

We're rediscovering Christianity as an Eastern religion, as a way of life.

My interest is in what's true, where is the life, where is the heart and what inspires.

My experience is that lots of people go to church, sing the songs, tell the story, etc but have profound ambivalence about God.

You're here, you're breathing, you are the recipient of an extraordinary act of generosity called life.

If your faith is threatened by something that's true, then it wasn't much of a faith to begin with, was it?

And this reality extends beyond this life. Heaven is full of forgiven people. Hell is full of forgiven people. Heaven is full of people God loves, whom Jesus died for. Hell is full of forgiven people God loves, whom Jesus died for. The difference is how we choose to live, which story we choose to live in, which version of reality we trust.

It often appears that those who talk the most about going to heaven when you die talk the least about bringing heaven to earth right now, as Jesus taught us to pray: 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' At the same time, it often appears that those who talk the most about relieving suffering now talk the least about heaven when we die.

Your life is a gift. Before anything else can be said about you, for some reason the universe (or God, or being, or force, or reality, or whatever you name it) chose to give you life.

Christian' makes a poor adjective

The danger is that in reaction to abuses and distortions of an idea, we'll reject it completely. And in the process miss out on the good of it, the worth of it, the truth of it.

There are moments when we have to return to our roots.

The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.

If there's any place where you would express your deepest doubts, it would be church.

The thought of the word church and the word marketing in the same sentence makes me sick.

Times change. God doesn’t, but times do. We learn and grow, and the world around us shifts, and the Christian faith is alive only when it is listening, morphing, innovating, letting go of whatever has gotten in the way of Jesus and embracing whatever will help us be more and more the people God wants us to be.

A lot of Christians have been taught a story that begins in chapter 3 of Genesis, instead of chapter 1. If your story doesn't begin in the beginning, but begins in chapter 3, then it starts with sin, and so the story becomes about dealing with the sin problem. So Jesus is seen as primarily dealing with our sins.
