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

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.

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.

At the center of the Christian tradition since the first church have been a number who insist that history is not tragic, hell is not forever, and love, in the end, wins and all will be reconciled to God.

To me some of the greatest writing is when somebody puts something in words that you felt and experienced and you go, that's it.

Image
I believe that God is with you, that there is a presence. I believe this God is for you. I don't think the universe is a cold, dead place that is indifferent.

Image
It is better to be fully present and rested and engaged for one thing than rushed, distracted, and scattered for ten.
Rob Bell
Image
That may sound a big vague, but what has struck me in city after city is that despite our differences and diversity, there's a common humanity we all share. In many ways we're all searching and longing for the same things.

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

When someone sets out to be controversial or provocative or shocking as an end in itself, I don't think that's a noble goal.

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.

The first word about you is that you received this life.
