"...the basic ideas that are worthy of greater reflection and contemplation. They set forward God as great and grand, a God who is not simply a port where we hide in a storm, but a God who teaches us how to endure the storms around us with confidence and joy in his ability to quell those storms in his good time."
- "As a man, God showed himself in ways we would never see otherwise. God (Jesus) was not a super-mystic holy man who seemed ethereal and otherworldly. Nor was Jesus the same run-of-the-mill person we find on the street. He was a real man, but one of truth, goodness, and beauty (not beauty of appearance, but of character). Jesus exhibited the actions that correspond to those traits:
- He challenged the current values of those around him.
- He probed for people’s motives over simple focus on their actions.
- He insisted on real human values in the ways we treat each other.
- He endorsed the search for truth.
- He endorsed a love for all people.
- He suffered conflict with stale and false religion.
- He called people to God
