“In contrast, Christianity has traditionally responded with the paradox modeled by Jesus: we must trust the goodness of God despite the suffering and injustice we see around us, and yet do all we can to relieve it during our days on earth.”
“Few churches stay faithful both to the high ideals of gospel and its bottomless grace…unless we embrace both messages we will betray the good news that Jesus brought to earth.”
“The only hope for any of us, regardless of our particular sins, lies in a ruthless trust in a God who inexplicably loves sinners, including those who sin differently than we do.”
“Heaven holds out a promise…of wholeness and justice and pleasure and peace.”
