There Are Some Things To Die For

There Is An Innocence Or Purity That We See In Renewals And In The Mennonite Church And A New An Invigorated Civil Rights Movement.

This Is The Company We Keep When It Comes To The Death Penalty: China, The Number One Executing Country; Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Those Are The Top 4, And Number 5 Is The Us. And Those Are Not Countries That Are Known As Champions For Human Rights, You Know.

I Like How Someone Once Said Being A Christian Is Not About Having New Ideas But Having New Eyes. This Is The Ability To Have Our Hearts Broken With The Things That Break The Heart Of God. That Is Part Of What It Means To Be A Christian.

The Early Christians Felt A Deep Collision With The Empire In Which They Lived, And With Politics As Usual. They Carelessly Crossed Party Lines And Built Subversive Friendships. And We Should Do That Too.

We Do Need To Be Born Again, Since Jesus Said That To A Guy Named Nicodemus. But If You Tell Me I Have To Be Born Again To Enter The Kingdom Of God, I Can Tell You That You Have To Sell Everything You Have And Give It To The Poor, Because Jesus Said That To One Guy, Too. But I Guess That's Why God Invented Highlighers, So We Can Highlight The Parts We Like And Ignore The Rest.
