Wishing, yearning, demanding to be loved is wasted energy better spent on growing in love and care for others.

What can free our society from a porno-prudish view of the body is what has already liberated most health-care workers: a frank, natural, non-sexual display of the divine glory and creative goodness in the unclad temple of God's image.

When love for the Lord and His love for our neighbors / Is what we are into and what we're about, / Our service to others inspires our labors, / And fearing the Lord casts all other fears out.

Paul's admonition in 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 shows that our man-made, legalistic rules for 'holiness' always have in them more proud fruit from 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil' than they have a love for God or the leading of God.

Human fulfillment is not in how a person is embodied, but in how a person embodies purpose and love.

There's no greater affirmation to our humanity than the Bethlehem manger, no greater demonstration of God's love for us than the Cross of Calvary, no greater proclamation of human hope than the empty tomb of Jesus Christ.
