Trump's entire world was construed from what he saw on television.

The leitmotif for Trump about his own campaign was how crappy it was and how everybody involved in it was a loser.

you don't really have to know all that much yourself; you just do it differently than it was done before.

Not only is Trump not like other presidents, he is not like anyone most of us have ever known.

I think that people are tired. They're tired of the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics.

IF WE KNOW WHO GOD HAS MADE US TO BE, WE CAN STOP TRYING TO BE SOMEONE WE ARE NOT AND LET GO OF THE STRESS THAT COMES WITH LIVING THAT KIND OF LIFE.

Discipleship isn't a random assortment of facts and propositions and behaviors, discipleship is something that is you to the core and is completely incarnated in you.

Scripture really seems to be getting at something here, something about orienting our lives around becoming lifelong learners of Jesus. It is liberating to think that, with God's Spirit, over time, we can learn the ways of Jesus, doing the things that he did while becoming the same type of person. It doesn't happen overnight, and the expectation of Scripture isn't that it happens overnight

Where kairos is an event word—something that has a beginning and ending—repentance (metanoia) is a process word, as is believe (pistis). The Circle is a process, a way of living that does not have a specific beginning and ending. One does not become a disciple of Jesus and stand still; discipleship is a lifestyle of learning. And this learning begins with a change of heart.

Don't let the culture influence your message, let your message influence the culture.

In church politics, you're surprised when people are bad, while in secular politics you're surprised when people are good.

A person who has no standard to live by other than the culture of the moment is a person whose principles might as well come from the latest public opinion polls.
