They think you're confused, but they don't think you're a sinner.

They're trying to appear as though they're not changing their tune.

The church's position has been that they really didn't have anything against gays, although everyone had to obey church rules to not have sex outside of marriage. But now many countries are allowing legal same-sex marriage. What are they going to do in all of those countries where they are sending missionaries?

The mercies of God make a sinner proud, but a saint humble.

You probably wouldn’t worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do.

I sometimes think my earnestness is confused for stupidity, but it shouldn't be.
