“Many Christians believe it better to be 'right' than to have a relationship with another. However, Jesus didn't teach us to be right.”

“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.”

“...it was better to believe in God and to be wrong than to believe that there was no God and to be right.”

“Nothing is better than music... it has done more for us than we have the right to hope for. ”

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

“Peacemaking contains all the elements of the Christian faith. Peacemaking is the result of not only taking the beatitudes seriously, but living them. It involves right relationships. Right relationships with God, right relationships with God’s people and right relationships with God’s creation. It involves love. Proper love of self, love of God and creation, and love of all people—even our enemies. It is not passive, it is active; it is peacemaking not peacekeeping. Above all, it is following the way of Jesus, which was the way of the cross, where his power was 'made perfect in weakness' (2 Cor. 12:9).”
