Christians argue about who's in charge of who, who's going to run things, who is the authority and who are the leaders that tell us on behalf of Jesus what to do next.

Quid pro quo, you scratch my back and I will scratch yours. It tends to be the way we humans operate.

The creation is one of God’s good gifts and being cut off from nature and wild places, as we often are in the modern world, is probably not so good for us.

"What do you mean, 'Confess that I don't believe in God?' I'm a Christian. Of course I believe in God!"

We want people to notice us, know us, like us, or even hate us. Just please don’t ignore us. Social media is the ego’s dream come true.

We treat the Scriptures as if they’re our literary property to toy with as we please.

Take away the water, words, bread and wine. Can you be a Christian without water, words, bread and wine?

We're of little faith. Or rather, we have big faith, but it’s in something else. Our faith is in our ability to control situations, manipulate them to our advantage.

The reason that anyone would choose a heaven without Jesus, or happiness without Jesus, or healing without Jesus, is because he doesn’t mean that much to them to begin with.

There’s something appealing about a caged deity.

If there’s going to be a celebration, why not celebrate fidelity, obedience, hard work?

It may seem easy to believe in the God who changes water into wine, but it is not. For when man is at his happiest, he thinks the least of the true source of his joy.
