not my words.

i don't really have anything of substance to say today.
but i've been flipping through one of my favorite books and i'd like to share some of what i think are the boldest quotes in it...
enjoy?

"grace is contagious, just like violence"

"we live in an age in which people, when they hear the word Christian, are much more likely to think of people who hate gays than people who love outcasts"

"referring to the church as a building is like referring to people as two-by-fours"

"we are not pacifist hippies but passionate lovers who abhor passivity and violence"

"Christendom seems very unprepared for people who take the gospel that seriously"

"why would i want a fancy car when i can ride a bike, or a TV when i can play outside with sidewalk chalk?"

"we've got to unite ourselves as one body. because Jesus is coming back, and he's coming back for a bride, not a harem."

"people are poor not just because of their sins; they are poor because of our sins"

"God spoke to Balaam through his ass, and God's been speaking through them ever since"

sorry about all that.
it may seem scattered, and you've most likely lost interest.
but, there are just some things that make me want to rethink everything.
i strongly suggest the reading of "the irresistible revolution"
it may kick you in the head just as it did me.
g'night.
