Keeping the Faith

"I work harder than God! If he had hired me, he would have made the world by Thursday."

"The truth is, I don't really learn that much about your faith by asking questions like that... because those aren't really questions about faith, those are questions about religion. And it's very important to understand the difference between religion and faith. Because faith is not about having the right answers. Faith is a feeling. Faith is a hunch, really. It's a hunch that there is something bigger connecting it all... connecting us all together. And that feeling, that hunch, is God. And coming here tonight, on your Sunday evening... to connect with that feeling, that is an act of faith. And so all I have to do is look around the room at this packed church... to know that we're doing pretty well as a community. Even if all of you failed my pop quiz miserably."

"Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way."

"God was showing off when he made you."

"May those who love us, love us. And those who don't love us - may God turn their hearts. And if he cannot turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so that we may know them by their limping."

"If you have to believe in something, you might as well believe in love."
