Excerpts from "Irresistible Revolution" by Shane Claiborne PART THREE

Any time we make a radical conversion, there is the danger that people will say we are being brainwashed or are joining a cult.
We need minds that are renewed and uncluttered so they are free to dream again.

...people come forward with fire in their eyes and say, 'We have been dreaming the same dreams.' ...

Jesus is not seeking distant acts of charity. He seeks concrete acts of love.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness." (Matt 5:6) In the Hebrew, the same word is used for righteousness and JUSTICE!!

Poverty was created not by God but by you and me, because we have not learned to love our neighbors as ourselves.

...the gospel of abundance rooted in the theology of enough.
