“I got a call from a reporter…and he started asking me about same-sex marriage. After about five minutes of grilling me on same-sex marriage, ‘Now I want to ask you a question. Why is this all [conservative evangelicals] talk about?’ And I said, ‘Let me remind you of something. I didn’t call you this morning and interrupt your day to talk about same-sex marriage, you called me, you asked me these questions’….So, a part of this is just a matter of perception. People keep saying, ‘Well you conservative evangelicals only talk about this’….We do care about many other issues but that’s not what the media is asking us about.” - Albert Mohler

“Consumerism…is the desire to define one’s state of existence and to find significance in things, and that constant buying and collecting of things, that really fuels a lot of other things such as the idea that you have to have both parents working…and the fact that you have to work more and more to get more and more and store more and more, then have a bigger house in which to put more and more…It’s very hard to break that cycle.” - Albert Mohler
