In our experience, as believers practice loving attitudes and behavior toward others inside and outside their faith community, unchurched friends and family don't have to be talked into church participation. They seek it out, drawn by the promise of love.

The only measure of what you believe is what you do. If you want to know what people believe, don't read what they write, don't ask them what they believe, just observe what they do.

Charity is the perfection and ornament of religion.

Faith is not won by arguments. Faith is won by an experience of love.

Full faith is an all-out, no-holds-barred approach to a life punctuated by actions of belief.

If actions speak louder than words, it is because they lend the weight of behavior (real assent) to belief (nominal assent).

Theology isn't really theology for us until we live it.

Formal religion only takes us so far — for it is both safe and doable. Love, however, knows no limits, takes costly risks, and looks for ways to give more.

Religion without humanity is a poor human stuff.

Faith is the substance of whatever it is that we hope for. The important thing is that we teach that faith is connected to good works and responsibility.

The important thing is not to think much but to love much; do, then, whatever most arouses you to love.

Measure your progress by your experience of the love of God and its exercise before men.
