We need to return to the simplicity that God is love.

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

When we deny the spiritual dimension to our existence, we end up living like animals. And when we deny the physical, sexual dimension to our existence, we end up living like angels. And both ways are destructive, because God made us human.

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.

What does happen constantly with all kinds of people I meet is they say I had this encounter with Jesus, can you help me understand it... The labels, more than ever, simply aren't big enough to contain what the cosmic Christ is up to in the world.

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.

I'm interested in painting the most beautifully compelling pictures and images and metaphors and stories and explanations possible that will put Jesus in language for a world that desperately needs to hear it.

Creating and sharing beautiful things has provided me with the inspiration that we can do things we never thought we could do and that we will get to see wonderful things we never thought we would see.

It's as if Thomas Kinkade and Dante were at a party, and one turned to the other sometime after midnight and uttered that classic line You know, we really should work together sometime.

When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.

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.

The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.

Image
Something is profoundly wrong and we are desperate for justice, for restoration and for somebody somewhere to do something about this.

Many people confuse religion with God and walk away from them both. The point isn't Christianity, the point is being a Christian.

If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, then it isn't good news for anybody.

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.
