Public faith means going public with what's in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.

My faith in truth and nonviolence is ever growing, and as I am ever trying to follow them in my life, I too am growing every moment.

I know i am touching the living body of Christ in the broken bodies of the hungry and the suffering.

In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.

The world writes books with titles like Think and Grow Rich, but if Jesus were writing for today's market, he'd title his book Love and Give Everything Away.

What matters isn't our stated belief and doctrine but how we live and what we experience in the story of our lives, as Jesus, John, James, and Paul all make so abundantly clear. It's our actual experience and expression of life that shows us and the world what we truly believe and to what extent we truly love, not what we say we believe or who we say we love. If we say we have faith, but the workings of our life don't reflect that faith, that faith is either asleep or dead.

I believe, as followers of Christ, we are commanded to reach out to the least of these in the name of Jesus and show them they matter a great deal to God, who sacrificed His only Son to reach them with His love.

We could read every book even written on prayer, but that won't make us people of prayer. We learn to pray by doing it.

No, the religion of Jesus is a social religion.

Love God and He will enable you to love others even when they disappoint you.

The belief in a thing makes it happen.

To put a finer point on it, the church building is based on the benighted idea that worship is removed from everyday life.
