Discontentment is a gift. It's the stuff that changes the world.

Christians pretty much live like everybody else, they just sprinkle a little Jesus in along the way.

It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.

In fact, the Gospel shows us change comes from the bottom rather than the top, from an old rugged cross rather than a gold royal throne.

The true atheist is the one who refuses to see God's image in the face of their neighbour.

Charity wins awards and applause, but joining the poor gets you killed. People do not get crucified for charity. People are crucified for living out a love that disrupts the social order, that calls forth a new world. People are not crucified for helping poor people. People are crucified for joining them.

It is the church's job, as Dr. [Martin Luther] King says, to be the conscience of the state, not the chaplain of the state.
