My Goal Is To Speak The Truth

I Am Sorry That So Often The Biggest Obstacle To God Has Been Christians. Christians Who Have Had So Much To Say With Our Mouths And So Little To Show With Our Lives. I Am Sorry That So Often We Have Forgotten The Christ Of Our Christianity.

There Is A Movement Bubbling Up That Goes Beyond Cynicism And Celebrates A New Way Of Living, A Generation That Stops Complaining About The Church It Sees And Becomes The Church It Dreams Of.

I Learned More About God From The Tears Of Homeless Mothers Than Any Systematic Theology Ever Taught Me.

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.

The Christian Icon Is Not The Stars And Stripes But A Cross-flag, And Its Emblem Is Not A Donkey, An Elephant, Or An Eagle, But A Slaughtered Lamb.
