God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.

My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace.

The Bible is plain that God requires moral perfection. It tells us unambiguously that God is holy and therefore cannot tolerate any hint of unholiness.

Now people look at 'The Scream' or Van Gogh's 'Irises' or a Picasso and see its new content: money. Auction houses inherently equate capital with value.

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.
