"If, in your attempt to follow Jesus, you exclude, condemn or discriminate against someone, you are doing it wrong."
- Rev. Kellen Roggenbuck
"Faith is about the connection of people as much as it is about God. We are called to be in community and treat others with divine love."
"Part of leadership is preparing those who follow to someday go on ahead without you."
"We need to be the church that serves and loves people now, today, exactly where they are. Until then, we are simply managing decline."
"Your message is only as loud as the actions that accompany it. Live your message and it will be heard loud and clear."
"It's helpful to remember that God doesn't belong to Christians, Jews, Muslims or anyone. We belong to God, not the other way around."
"When listeners become leaders, the world changes."
"Evangelism is more about being than being perfect."
"If your ministry can't work without you, then it is no longer Christ-centered. Minister toward Jesus, not yourself."
"Remember that churches would be empty ruins without the sinners who transform them into places of life, love and worship."
