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.

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.

God gives us what we want. For people who want nothing to do with peace, joy, reconciliation and peace... God will give you what you want. I see people make unbelievably destructive choices.

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.

Like a mirror, God appears to be more and more a reflection of whoever it is that happens to be talking about God at the moment.

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

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.
