God's love doesn't seek value; it creates it. It's not because we have value that we are loved, but because we're loved that we have value. So you don't have to prove yourself -- ever. That's taken care of.

The goal of the Christian life is not to save your soul but to transcend yourself, to vindicate the human struggle of which all of us are a part, to keep hope advancing.

While the [Christian] faith takes care of the ultimate incongruities of life, humor does nicely with the intermediate ones.

There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country, a reflection of God's lover's quarrel with all the world.

God knows it is emotionally satisfying to be righteous with that righteousness that nourishes itself on the blood of sinners. But God also knows that what is emotionally satisfying can be spiritually devastating.

The woman most in need of liberation is the woman in every man and the man in every woman.

Diversity may be the hardest thing for a society to live with, and perhaps the most dangerous thing for a society to be without.

Christians have to listen to the world as well as to the Word -- to science, to history, to what reason and our own experience tell us. We do not honor the higher truth we find in Christ by ignoring truths found elsewhere.

All of life is the exercise of risk.

There is no smaller package in the world that that of a person all wrapped up in himself.

When we live at each other's mercy, we had better learn to be merciful.

When a man is drowning, it may be better for him to try to swim than to thrash around waiting for divine intervention.

The temptation to moralize is strong; it is emotionally satisfying to have enemies rather than problems, to seek out culprits rather than the flaws in the system.

So don't let money tell you who you are. Don't let power tell you who your are. Don't let enemies and -- for God's sake -- don't let your sins tell you who you are. Don't prove yourself. That's taken care of. All we have to do is express ourselves. It's difficult, but we're a lot more alive in pain than in complacency.

A spiritual person tries less to be godly than to be deeply human.
