Christianity Is At Its Best When It

Love Has No Limits. Compassion Has No Party. It Is The Responsibility Of Every Human Being And Every Institution To End Poverty And To Interrupt Injustice.

That Is Part Of Our Critique Of Some Of The Charity And Service Work Is That We Can Still Keep Relationships At A Distance By Creating Programs That Offer Services But We Don't Really Create A Reconciled Community.

There Are Congregations On Nearly Every Corner. I'm Not Sure We Need More Churches. What We Need Is A Church. I Say One Church Is Better Than Fifty. I Have Tried To Remove The Plural Form Churches From My Vocabulary, Training Myself To Think Of The Church As Christ Did, And As The Early Christians Did. The Metaphors For Her Are Always Singular - A Body, A Bride. I Heard One Gospel Preacher Say It Like This, As He Really Wound Up And Broke A Sweat: "we've Got To Unite Ourselves As One Body. Because Jesus Is Coming Back, And He's Coming Back For A Bride Not A Harem.

We Need Good Laws, But No Law Can Change A Human Heart - Only God Can Do That.

God's People Are Not To Accumulate Stuff For Tomorrow But To Share Indiscriminately With The Scandalous And Holy Confidence That God Will Provide For Tomorrow. Then We Need Not Stockpile Stuff In Barns Or A 401(k), Especially When There Is Someone In Need.
