More quotes by 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

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

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?
Tony Campolo
Our call is to be God's agents, to rescue not only the human race but the whole of creation.
