Let's keep refusing to accept the world as it is and insisting on building the world we dream of. Don't let the haters have the last word.

If those of us who believe in God do not believe God's grace is big enough to save the whole world... well, we should at least pray that it is.

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

So if the world hates us, we take courage that it hated Jesus first. If you're wondering whether you'll be safe, just look at what they did to Jesus and those who followed him. There are safer ways to live than by being a Christian.

I wondered if there were other restless people asking the question with me: What if Jesus meant the stuff he said?.

Money has power. And so withholding money has power too, especially when a bunch of people do it together.

The world is looking, not for Christians who are perfect, but for Christians who are honest and who are willing to be honest with some of our contradictions and hypocrisy.
