Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.

Perhaps there is no more dangerous place for a Christian to be than in safety and comfort, detached from the suffering of others.

Jesus is challenging that when addressing "who is your neighbor" and he has a lot of hard things to say about family, "unless you hate your own family you are not going to be a disciple." He is challenging the limits of our compassion and our love as if someone's kid suffers it should be as devastating to us as if it were our own kid. That is what the early church said.

Faith is believing in the impossible because we have a God who is master of impossible.

Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.

Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.

There are some Christians who totally disengage from politics and set their minds on heaven so much that their faith is so heavenly minded that it is no earthly good.
