Times change. God doesn’t, but times do.

I believe that God is love. I believe that Jesus came to show us this love, to give us this love, to teach us about this love, so that we could live in this love and extend it to others.

Why blame the dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn’t as bright as it could be.

The Christian faith is mysterious to the core. It is about things and beings that ultimately can't be put into words. Language fails. And if we do definitively put God into words, we have at that very moment made God something God is not.

Questions are not scary. What is scary is when people don’t have any. What is tragic is faith that has no room for them.

What we do comes out of who we believe we are.

Often times when I meet atheists and we talk about the god they don’t believe in, we quickly discover that I don’t believe in that god, either.
