We must not confuse the command to love with the disease to please.

Don’t argue with the person who puts his knowledge above everyone’s else’s; you’ll always lose in that respect. But, in reality, he is the loser because he has put himself in a position where he...

The maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you. And that is a fact. So if you need to brag, brag about that.

Očevidno je da ne postoji nikakav smisao povijesti koji bi se dao spasiti leđima okrenutim prema Auschwitzu niti postoji Bog kojemu se čovjek može klanjati leđa okrenutih prema Auschwitzu. Kao teološko-politička katastrofa Auschwitz ne ostavlja...

I would like to say that I had all kinds of great ideas about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I would like to say my ministry was born...

If we are called to attention by God’s Life and Holy Spirit, then the ‘spiritual life’ is not a pleasant option we might like to pursue when we have space and time; it is that...

Theology should be a discourse that helps the sociopolitical approach to justice to maintain its human face and not to become impersonal.

If you are sure that you’re going to heaven when you die, you ought to make the most of today. Why live below God’s standards when He has so many wonderful things planned for you?

Relationships program our minds as to what is and isn’t an acceptable way to be treated.

What makes art Christian art? Is it simply Christian artists painting biblical subjects like Jeremiah? Or, by attaching a halo, does that suddenly make something Christian art? Must the artist’s subject be religious to be...

When I walk in the forest just before the meal, while reciting the scriptural phrase that I “meditate” for that day, spiritual joy comes over me as if by appointment.

As Christians, we should be the best collaborators in the world. We should be quick to find unlikely allies and subversive friends, like Jesus did.

I was taught growing up not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, to withdraw myself from the sinful ‘others’. But we are all others. We are all sinners in someone’s eyes.
