That pains me in my heart to think that someone who is gay would think that I don't love them and care about them.

My kids haven't watched one episode of 'Growing Pains'. I'll tell you why. When our kids were little, we never wanted Mommy or Daddy to be the celebrity mom or dad to our kids.

God is a God who has not given up on His people. If He wanted to give up, He would have given up back in the Garden of Eden.

Ten out of ten people die. You start thinking about that and it really makes you start to ask the big questions: Where did I come from? Where am I going when I die? What happens when we step out of here? What's out there?

God steps into the suffering with us, and He takes it on himself, and He walks through it with us, and He uses it to create something in you that is unstoppable.

Why do people hate God?... One, they hate the moral standard. Two, they hate the way he's transforming the world even in the midst of suffering and tragedy.

I could have anything I wanted and if I didn't have it, it was because I didn't want it.

We all have our convictions formed by different things, and mine are informed by my faith, they're informed by the Word of God, and I found that to be an anchor for me, a compass and a guide for me. When people start bullying one another and calling each other names for those different convictions, then I think you get into problems.

As I look around, I get this sinking feeling that we're off track, that there's something sick in the soul of our country. I examine the fruit that's hanging on the tree of America, and I can see that it's rotting. And that concerns me deeply.

America is a beacon of hope for the world. And yet we are in so much trouble.

If we want a great future in this world, we have to take God at his word, and God makes it really clear that society and civilization is held together by the glue of families... This is where the next generation of human beings are incubated and nurtured and matured - in homes. In families.

Once I realized the emptiness of life apart from knowing God, when I embraced God and the truth of the gospel and the truth of the Bible, it was a no-brainer decision to see that that was a treasure that was infinitely more valuable than some sort of an atheistic Hollywood party life.

Our first priority is our kids.

I love all people; I hate no one.

God's advice trumps Oprah's every time.

You either believe marriage and human sexuality are sacred, or you do not.

If you take Darwin's theory and extend it to its logical end, it can be used to justify a number of very horrendous things.

In any society that is governed by the rule of law, some form of morality is always imposed. It's inescapable.

I don't think that growing up in the entertainment industry is the healthiest place for kids. The track record kind of shows that.

If America is a ship, it looks a lot like it's sinking - financially, morally, spiritually. It's frightening.

I can assuredly say that it's my life's mission to love all people.

If my kid came to me and said 'I'm gay,' I'd say, 'Son, I love you.'

I've been fortunate that I can be selective enough to do acting when it's really furthering what I want to do with my life.

If the anti-Christian agenda will say, 'Here's your identity, you're an evolved amoeba who ought to just go do whatever you want and don't let anybody tell you different,' then they can get you to throw your faith, your character, your courage, and your liberty right out the window.

Every candle that gets lit in the dark room must feel a little rejection from the darkness around it, but the last thing I want from those who hold a different world view to me is to accept me.
