As citizens, we need to get beyond squabbling with one another about tactics. For example, instead of arguing about how fast the debt should be reduced, we should unite on the common ground that it ought to be reduced at all. As we fight over details, our children's future is worsening. It's time to focus on common ground and take swift action based on our agreement before our nation moves beyond saving.

Unity is possible among the people of our nation with the right kind of leadership. But we the people must for ourselves determine that we will be indivisible regardless of the leadership, and we must exercise our ability to identify the divisive forces and vote them out of office.

It mattered not what color your skin was on the outside, but rather what the condition was of your heart and mind inside.

I also praise the cooperative efforts in our pediatric intensive care unit. In fact, this togetherness permeates every aspect of our program here, including our office staff. We're friends, we work well together, we're dedicated to alleviating pain, and we're interested in each other's problems, too. We're a team, and Ben Carson is only part of that team.

To extend hands of service without hearts of love is virtually meaningless.

Our marriages were meant to be alive, not dead. Is your marriage more like romance or roadkill?

In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love. Galatians 5:6

I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. Hosea 11:4 (NIV)

They are to teach what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and children. Titus 2:3—4

On the contrary, all the more, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary. 1 Corinthians 12:22

The fundamental character of our faith means an extensive diversity is required not only within local community, but between communities.

I love how music and fashion are so similar. We need each other.
