“Far from being incompatible, politics and Christianity are, in reality, inseparable. What don't mix are Christianity and social apathy. (p. 117)”

“Being close but feeling far, talking but not being heard, loving but not being loved, that is the painful reality of a dying relationship.”

“There is no humility in calling yourself a Christian; placing Christ in the role of colleague. The humility lies in the truth of your imperfection and a more accurate description as a student of Christianity; placing Christ back in the role as head teacher.”

“Just being an obedient Christian is increasingly becoming a social, political, legal issue...”

“What makes human life--which is inseparable from this moment--so precious is its fleeting nature. And not that it doesn't last but that it never returns again.”

“You ought to live your life with such freedom and joy that uptight Christians will doubt your salvation.”

“You are really and truly and completely free. There is no kicker. There is no if, and, or but. You are free. You can do it right or wrong. You can obey or disobey. You can run from Christ or run to Christ. You can choose to become a faithful Christian or an unfaithful Christian. You can cry, cuss, and spit, or laugh, sing, and dance. You can read a novel or the Bible. You can watch television or pray. You're free...really free.”
