“A clear pattern soon emerged, as demonstrated by many polls: the more prominently Christians entered the political arena, the more negatively they were viewed by the rest of society.”

“What a nation needs more than anything else is not a Christian ruler in the palace but a Christian prophet within earshot.”

“In no other arena is the church at greater risk of losing its calling than in the public square.”

“Christians get very angry toward other Christians who sin differently than they do.”

“Christians are not perfect, by any means, but they can be people made fully alive.”

“God does not seem impressed by size or power or wealth. Faith is what he wants, and the heroes who emerge are heroes of faith, not strength or wealth.”

“We do well to remember that the Bible has far more to say about how to live during the journey than about the ultimate destination.”
