Slave holding is very unusual among the English-speaking peoples. Canadians didn't do it. Australians didn't do it. The Democratic Party and the states they controlled did it!
Grace saved my life; it can revolutionize yours.
Don't let the bastards get you down. Christians aren't God. Religious people aren't God. God loves you, just where you're at. . . just the way you are, no matter what you've done. God loves you whether you love him or not and there's nothing you can do about it. As far as the negative and judgmental stuff goes, realize that Jesus has a crappy fan club. Just don't give up
The more I follow grace, the more I'm drawn to him (God), the more I'm willing to stand up for people being persecuted. . . This sounds so churchy, but I felt like God spoke to my heart and said '(homosexuality) is not a sin'.
As a preacher I just feel like I have to be honest; I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't. I think that's why I've been able to reach some people who don't feel comfortable in churches. I do make mistakes and I can be goofy and quirky sometimes. I'm not the world's greatest speaker. I don't try to hide that.
We believe that this time of transition will make for a more dynamic Revolution Church, and will help us focus and expand our scope and mission.
Well, these tattoos aren't really rebellion. These tattoos are all tattoos I've had since I have been a pastor.
I'm me and nobody else; and whatever people think I am or say I am, that's what I'm not, because they don't know a bloody thing about me.
That in all times, mediocrity has dominated, that is indubitable; but that it reigns more than ever, that it is becoming absolutely triumphant and inhibiting, this is what is as true as it is distressing.
My life is in the hands of any fool who makes me lose my temper.
I always believed in love, compassion, and a sense of universal respect. Every human being has that potential.
