“The truth is that we don't know much about the spiritual world except for what Scripture tells us, so it's unwise to think we can speak with clarity about what a divine being can or cannot do. The tools of analyzing the natural world are of no use for analyzing the supernatural world. For the latter we need rules of logic, and the supernatural beliefs of the biblical writers are quite defensible in that arena.”
“Fashion is an expression of what you're feeling.”
“I know myself too well to believe in pure virtue.”
“The further on we go, the more meaning there is, but the less articulable. You live your life and the older you get- the more specifically you harvest- the more precious becomes every ounce and spasm. Your life and times donâ€™t drain of meaning because they become more contradictory, ornamented by paradox, inexplicable. The less explicable, the more meaning. The less like a mathematics equation (a sum game); the more like music (significant secret).”

“So relational evangelism?Â Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism.Â You hanging out having a beer with your buddy so he can see that Christians are cool is not what weâ€™re called to do.Â Youâ€™re eventually going to have to open up your mouth and share the gospel.Â When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.”
“My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.”
“I like beautiful clothing. I love Bergdorfs.”
