More quotes by Shane Claiborne
The future of the church is also about looking back and looking at where we see these wonderful renewals and what we can learn from the early church. I think it is a really exciting time where Phyllis Tickle said every few hundred years the church needs a rummage sale where we can get rid of some of the clutter.

Jesus taught us a prayer of community and reconciliation, belonging to a new people who have left the land of 'me'.

I don't know if you've read the Bible, and if you haven't, I think you may be in a better place than those of us who have read it so much that it has become stale.
Shane Claiborne
There is a difference between feeding someone and eating dinner with them. If every Christian at home just made room for the stranger we would end homelessness overnight.
Shane Claiborne
God's people are not to accumulate stuff for tomorrow but to share indiscriminately with the scandalous and holy confidence that God will provide for tomorrow. Then we need not stockpile stuff in barns or a 401(k), especially when there is someone in need.
Shane Claiborne
When it comes to the big issues like immigration, everyone has a role. The government has a role. The church has a role. Every Christian has a role.
Shane Claiborne
There is a movement bubbling up that goes beyond cynicism and celebrates a new way of living, a generation that stops complaining about the church it sees and becomes the church it dreams of.

Dance until they kill you, and then we'll dance some more.

If we believe terrorists are past redemption, we should just rip up like 1/2 the New Testament because it was written by one.
Shane Claiborne
The monastic folks have the spirit of being in the world but not of the world, sort of peculiar people who have gone to the desert to live on the margins of the empire.
Shane Claiborne
Prayer is not so much about convincing God to do what we want God to do as it is about convincing ourselves to do what God wants us to do.
Shane Claiborne
The end of war begins with people who believe that another world is possible and that another empire has already interrupted time and space and is taking over this earth with the dreams of God.
Shane Claiborne
I just have a more holistic sense of what it means to be for life, knowing that life does not just begin at conception and end at birth, and that if I am going to discourage abortion, I had better be ready to adopt some babies and care for some mothers.

A pastor friend of mine said, Our problem is that we no longer have martyrs. We only have celebrities.
Shane Claiborne
In the Bible, God uses brothel owners, pagan kings, murderers and mercenaries as instruments of good at one point God even speaks to a guy named Balaam through his donkey.
Shane Claiborne
The love that makes community is the willingness to do someone else's dirty work.
Shane Claiborne
Because you can poke someone's eye out legally doesn't mean you should and that it's right. The Bible teaches us a more perfect justice.
Shane Claiborne
We're remembering each other's heroes, too. We are learning each other's songs. We are reminding ourselves that we are a global family praying together. We're all trying to live in the light of the history that shines through the biblical narrative.

Someday war and poverty will be crazy and we will wonder how the world allowed such things to exist.
