on Bible - We must all die; we are like water that is poured on the ground and
cannot be gathered up
“I
choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical
documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses.
They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific
prophecies and they claim that their writings are divine rather than human in
origin.”

“The
Genesis declaration carries the central truth that each human person is a
precious individual, whether strong or weak, rich or poor, able-bodied or
handicapped, intellectually brilliant or limited, beautiful or plain.”

“Remember,
God isn't looking for perfection. He's looking for humility and honesty about
our need for Him--our brokenness. The Bible tells us God is especially
attracted to a repentant heart. "My sacrifice, oh God, is a broken spirit.
A broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise." (Psalm 51:17)”

of Compromise
“As
we saw time and time again, Daniel stood his ground; even risking his life to
oppose the cultural pressure surrounding him. He didn't argue, defend, explain,
or debate. He simply made his boundaries clear with direct, respectful
communication. As a result, Daniel shone like a beacon of God's truth for 70
years--valued and esteemed by 4 different Babylonian regimes.”

“When
culture shifts--and we know it always will--we should get excited. Because in
the midst of those chaotic, unsettling changes, we live on solid ground. In
Christ, we have the hope the world needs. And like the prophet Daniel, we are
catalysts for redemptive change--people of influence, who know our goal is not
to be right, but to be effective.”

“If
God really did create everything and the Bible is God’s decisive word about
everything, then that means it’s not an opinion but an instruction manual.”

“Love
you neighbor as yourself' makes sense only within a religious context. Without
God, all that exists in the world is the physical; from where then would come
the basis for legislating moral obligations? The inability to derive moral
obligations without a metaphysical basis has been a bedrock problem confronting
all atheistic philosophical systems. As Bertrand Russell, perhaps the twentieth
century's most eloquent atheistic philosopher, wrote: 'I cannot see how to
refute the argument for the subjectivity of all ethical values, but I refuse to
accept that the only thing wrong with wanton cruelty is that I don't like it.'
Unfortunately, over many decades of writing, Russell was never able to
formulate a stronger critique of 'wanton cruelty' than that he didn't like it.
Even more unfortunately, there are many people who do like it, a factor which
helps account for this century's Nazi and Communist horrors.
Significantly
the biblical verse does not read: 'Love all humanity as yourself,' but it
specifically speaks of one's neighbor. After all, it is easier to engage in
lofty statements about humankind than to show loving behavior to the person
next door, who might be a rather flawed creature.”

fascinating revelation in scripture is just how sacred human sexuality exists

“I'm
not a religious believer, yet despite that I go to church. I love the
architecture, the music, the words of the Bible, and the sense of sharing
something profound with other people. I have long found deep spiritual peace in
the great cathedrals, as do many millions of people, believers and nonbelievers
alike.”

“The
Bible is the most fascinating, robust, comprehensive, and wise resource upon
which to build our lives. And if you are building your life on anything else,
the only thing that you are building is the illusion that you are building.”
