You don't overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.
Few things accelerate the peace process as much as humbly admitting our own wrongdoing and asking forgiveness.
There is no way you can harmonize neo-Darwinism and Christianity.
I'm all for lifestyle evangelism, but I'm also in favor of intentionality, where we seek out opportunities for spiritual conversations and are equipped to explain the gospel and why we believe it.
Learning about the intellectual basis for Christianity bolsters the faith of Christians-espe cially those who may be experiencing doubts-and prepares them to share Christ with others.
I think it's very healthy to use journalistic and legal techniques to investigate the evidence for and against Christianity and other faith systems.
Apologetics has an important place in the local church as we seek to influence our communities for Christ in an increasingly skeptical culture.
Our works do not generate righteousness, rather our righteousness in Christ generates works.
Repentance is powerful spiritual medicine. There are few spiritual ills it will not cure.

The further you go in writing the more alone you are. Most of your best and oldest friends die. Others move away. You do not see them except rarely, but you write and have much the same contact with them as though you were together at the café in the old days. You exchange comic, sometimes cheerfully obscene and irresponsible letters, and it is almost as good as talking. But you are more alone because that is how you must work and the time to work is shorter all the time and if you waste it you feel you have committed a sin for which there is no forgiveness.
