There is no place in God's world where there are no people who will come and share a home as long as it is a real home.

Our relationship with each other is the criterion the world uses to judge whether our message is truthful - Christian community is the final apologetic.

If we do not show love to one another, the world has a right to question whether Christianity is true.

One of the greatest injustices we do to our young people is to ask them to be conservative. Christianity is not conservative, but revolutionary.

Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.

The beginning of men's rebellion against God was, and is, the lack of a thankful heart.

No totalitarian authority nor authoritarian state can tolerate those who have an absolute by which to judge that state and its actions. The Christians had that absolute in God's revelation.

Rest assured that my support for any eventual reform package will be based firmly upon what is in the best interests of the people of Upstate New York, not any party or president.

If you're short on time, that would be the two-word version of our story: we fell.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

At the end of the day, the only thing I can do is keep working on it, keep giving myself chances, and it's going to happen.
