“Truth cannot be sacrificed at the altar of pretended tolerance. Real tolerance is deference to all ideas, not indifference to the truth.”

Having killed God, the atheist is left with no reason for being, no morality to espouse, no meaning to life, and no hope beyond the grave.

The grace of forgiveness, because God Himself has paid the price, is a Christian distinctive and stands splendidly against our hate-filled, unforgiving world. God’s forgiveness gives us a fresh start.

You cannot really have the world and hold on to it. It is all too temporary and the more you try to hold on to it, the more it actually holds you. By contrast, the more you hold on to the true and the good, the more you are free to really live.

The New Atheists are not open or willing to go where the evidence leads, unless that evidence sustains their own naturalistic assumptions. They have covertly reduced all philosophical thought and deduction to– ironically-fait h!

You can only learn so much from books. You can only learn so much from education. Ultimately, it is the wisdom of God that will carry you through in the toughest situations of life.

When we talk politics, we moralize. When we talk morality, we politicize.

We cannot discuss human rights, when we are denying people the right to live.

If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.

We talk so much about one’s rights so little about what is actually right.

Having the answers is not essential to living. What is essential is the sense of God’s presence during dark seasons of questioning.

Only God is able to humble us without humiliating us and to exalt us without flattering us.

When secularization has had its full sway, it will leave a generation devoid of shame. And if you show me a generation that lacks shame, I will show you a generation that is monstrous in its appetite… never satisfied.

There are so many needs in the world, and our hearts cannot carry them all. You must walk to the priorities God has set before you.

The Biblical world-view is the only one that accepts the reality of evil and suffering while giving both the cause and the purpose, while offering God-given strength and sustenance in the midst of it.

A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God.

What I believe in my heart must make sense in my mind.

The love you put out into the world, makes a difference.

From the point of view of wealth, there is no difference between need, comfort, and pleasure.

One of the biggest misconceptions I’ve had growing up is the belief that I cannot make a difference.

I’ve been made painfully aware of the difference in the day-to-day reality I’ve grown up and continue to live in.

While differing widely in the various little bits we know, in our infinite ignorance we are all equal.

We children are doing this to wake the adults up. We children are doing this for you to put your differences aside and start acting as you would in a crisis. We children are doing this because we want our hopes and dreams back.

As we go forward, I hope we’re going to continue to use technology to make really big differences in how people live and work.

There’s a big difference between equality and equity.
