‎Those who aren’t following Jesus aren’t his followers. It’s that simple. Followers follow, and those who don’t follow aren’t followers. To follow Jesus means to follow Jesus into a society where justice rules, where love...

The bad psychological material is not a sin but a disease. It does not need to be repented of, but to be cured. And by the way, that is very important. Human beings judge one...

Christianity tells us we have free will. God has provided man with a choice whether to believe in Him or not. If God’s existence were logically inescapable, there would be no free will to choose...

And He watched over me before I knew Him and before I learned sense or even distinguished between good and evil.
