“In my opinion, the Church only possesses the moral authority to speak to others about its ethics only when it holds itself accountable at the same time.”

“Christian ethical decisions should be based upon personal honor, interpersonal relationships with others including non-Christians, and moral implications of the decisions. Anything less than this violates the teachings of Jesus.”

“Jesus didn’t come to make us religious, righteous, or moral. Basically, His ethics involved His proclamation of a God-centered, love-filled life lived in obedience to God.”

“I have a problem with a church that has its main mission aimed at preferential treatment of rich, attractive, influential, and gifted people. Instead, it should be more concerned with its people’s spiritual growth instead of administering an ancient museum.”

“Being a Christian isn’t about the rules but about the relationship we have with Jesus.”

“Jesus served as the supreme example of good Christian leadership through servant-hood, humility, taking risks, sharing responsibilities with others, and building a team. He placed the needs of others ahead of His own. He wasn’t judgmental and definitely wasn’t hypocritical.”

“Doing the rights things, even though no one knows about it, is much better to me than being known as a person who does the right things, especially if done for the wrong reasons.”
