I Don't Know If You've Read The Bible, And If You Haven't, I Think You May Be In A Better Place Than Those Of Us Who Have Read It So Much That It Has Become Stale.

When The Church Takes Affairs Of The State More Seriously Than They Do Jesus, Pax Romana Becomes Its Gospel And The President Becomes The Son Of God.

I Always Tell Our Community That We Should Attract The People Jesus Attracted And Frustrate The People Jesus Frustrated. It's Certainly Never Our Goal To Frustrate, But It Is Worth Noting That The People Who Were Constantly Agitated Were The Self-righteous, Religious Elite, The Rich, And The Powerful. But The People Who Were Fascinated By Him, By His Love And Grace, Were Folks Who Were Already Wounded And Ostracized — Folks Who Didn't Have Much To Lose, Who Already Knew Full Well That They Were Broken And Needed A Savior.

When We Put Too Much Hope In A Candidate Or A Party We Set Ourselves Up For Disappointment.
