Nowhere in the Hebrew Scriptures does it say that God is omnipotent.

Nothing is more dangerous than to live out the will of God in today's contemporary world. It changes your whole monetary lifestyle...Let me put it quite simply: If Jesus had $40,000 and knew about the kids who are suffering and dying in Haiti, what kind of car would he buy?

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.

I am relatively sure, from conversations that I had with former president Bill Clinton, that George Bush seldom called upon him for advice.
Tony Campolo
Clinton's successor in the White House, George W. Bush, was committed to expanding government spending for faith-based initiatives.
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?

Prior to ROE V. WADE, abortions were common even though they were illegal. I don't think making them illegal again is going to solve the problem.

The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.

Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your kids.

I think the real place where most evangelicals have trouble with the Democratic Party is on the issue of abortion.
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
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
I think it goes back to the fact that the evangelical community often does not have a biblical vision of God.
