I have come to think that the challenge confronting Christians is not that we do not believe what we say, though that can be a problem, but that what we say we believe does not seem to make any difference for either the church or the world.

The church doesn’t have a social strategy, the church is a social strategy.

Only the one true God can take the risk of ruling by relying on the power of humility and love.

We complain of the increased tempo of our lives, but our frenetic lives are just reflection of the economic system that we have created.

I am often criticized, or at least questions are raised, about what appears to be the absence of the Holy Spirit in my work.

I simply cannot get over what a surprising and wonderful life God has given me.

A social order bent on producing wealth as an end in itself cannot avoid the creation of a people whose souls are superficial and whose daily life is captured by sentimentalities. They will ask questions like “why does a good God let bad things happen to good people ” such people cannot imagine that a people once existed who produced and sang the psalms. If we learn to say “God ” we will do so with the prayer “My God my God why have you forsaken me?
