I think the real place where most evangelicals have trouble with the Democratic Party is on the issue of abortion.

Most of us are tiptoeing through life so we can reach death safely. We should be praying, If I should wake before I die. . . . Life can get away from you.
Tony Campolo
Even if there were no heaven and there were no hell, would you still follow Jesus? Would you follow him for the life, joy and fulfilment he gives you right now?
Tony Campolo
There's nothing wrong with making a lot of money, there's something wrong with keeping it.
Tony Campolo
Today, some of the most spiritual people I know claim to be without religion.
Tony Campolo
Because of the increase in life longevity, America can now assume that at any given time three, and perhaps four, former presidents will still be alive, even when the current president is occupying the White House.

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
When you were born, you cried and everybody else was happy. The only question that matters is this - when you die, will you be happy when everybody else is crying?

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.
