Bishop Frederick Henry of Calgary is facing at least two official objections to his public statements along with expensive hearings before the Alberta Human Rights Commission for expressing his biblical views on same sex marriage.
I have to go on being a priest and bishop, that is, to celebrate God and what God has done in Jesus, and to offer in God's name whatever I can discern of God's perspective on the world around - something which involves both challenge and comfort.
We should let God be the One to praise us and not praise ourselves. For God detests those who commend themselves. Let others applaud our good deeds.
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
I don't see Jesus as rescuing the fallen; I see Jesus as expanding the potential of life. The primary reason the old idea of rescuing the fallen is no good is that there never was a time when we fell from perfection into sin.
Our own evil inclinations are far more dangerous than any external enemies.
My desire is to live more to God to-day than yesterday, and to be more holy this hour than the last.
Do there exist many worlds, or is there but a single world? This is one of the most noble and exalted questions in the study of Nature.
We should so work as if we were to be saved by our works; and so rely on Jesus Christ, as if we did no works.
From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
We cannot be part-time Christians! We should seek to live our faith at every moment of every day.
Indifference towards those in need is not acceptable for a Christian.
If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.
You can tell the people that if they succeed in killing me, that I forgive and bless those who do it. Hopefully, they will realize they are wasting their time. A bishop will die, but the church of God, which is the people, will never perish.
