More quotes by Tony Campolo
I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.
Tony Campolo
I'm not convinced that Jesus only lives in Christians.
Tony Campolo
If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?
Tony Campolo
I've got some repenting to do. I doubt, however, that those who have wedded Christianity with laissez-faire capitalism will see things this way. I can just hear them saying, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Tony Campolo
The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.
Tony Campolo
In short, I'm not sure that the abortion problem can be solved by legislation. I think it can only be solved through moral persuasion.
Tony Campolo
Often, we ignore the fact that our spiritual condition and psychological state of mind are highly affected by what is happening to us physically. Sometimes depression is simply the result of exhaustion.
Tony Campolo
Let us preach Christ, let us be faithful to proclaiming the Gospel, but let's leave judgment in the hands of God.
Tony Campolo
Perhaps we would do well to listen to the likes of Rabbi Harold Kushner, who contends that God is not really as powerful as we have claimed.
Tony Campolo
The real problem that I think those of us who are evangelicals and Democrats have to face up to is that the political right controls the religious media.
Tony Campolo
One of the most startling discoveries of my life was the realization that the Jesus that I love, the Jesus who died for me on Calvary, that Jesus, is waiting, mystically and wonderfully, in every person I meet. I find Jesus everywhere.
Tony Campolo
While I can see how the government has, at times, wasted taxpayers' money, and I can admit that too often its programs are ineffective, I also can see the good that government does.
Tony Campolo
Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed, are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit, and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.
Tony Campolo
Marriage should be viewed as an institution ordained by God and should be out of the control of the state.
Tony Campolo
My theology is such that the God who loves Israel and will not forsake Israel - which is why I want to see Israel have a secure nation with secure borders - also loves the Palestinians.
Tony Campolo
When you listen to Christian radio stations - and there are thousands of them now in the United States - and when you listen to Christian television networks - and there are thousands of Christian television shows across the country - they are all politically right.
Tony Campolo
I contend the state ought to do its thing and provide legal rights for all couples who want to be joined together for life. The church should bless unions that it sees fit to bless, and they should be called marriages.
Tony Campolo
I contend that, in spite of all that might be said about Watergate, Richard Nixon was good for the poor people of America.
Tony Campolo
That's what they do in Europe. You go down to the city hall and you become legally connected. You have a civil union there. Then, if you're religious, you go down to the church, and the church blesses the union. That gets the problem solved.
Tony Campolo
As we consider the causes of depression, those of us in the church must face the ways we might be responsible for creating it.
