Quotes

Mark Driscoll : “No one can ignore the reality of wars, disease, tyranny, violence, abuse, poverty, death, injustice, and famine. Evil persists despite all the efforts of all leaders of all nations from all history. We can’t solve the problem, because we are the problem. Our hope isn’t in self, nation, culture, people, leaders, or politics. It is in Jesus… His Kingdom is our only hope.” (Doctrine); Brennan Manning : “If we indeed live a life in imitation of His, our witness would be irresistible. If we dared to live beyond our self-concern, if we refused to shrink from being vulnerable, if we took nothing but a compassionate attitude toward the world, if we were a counterculture to our nation’s lunatic lust for pride of place, power, and possessions, if we preferred to be faithful rather than successful, the walls of indifference to Jesus Christ would crumble. A handful of us could be ignored by society, but hundreds, thousands, millions of such servants would overwhelm the world. The call of Jesus is revolutionary. If we implemented it, we would change the world in a few months.”
