All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tiptoe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don't tiptoe.

More quotes by Shane Claiborne
There are some Christians who totally disengage from politics and set their minds on heaven so much that their faith is so heavenly minded that it is no earthly good.
Shane Claiborne
As Christians, we should be the best collaborators in the world. We should be quick to find unlikely allies and subversive friends, like Jesus did.
Shane Claiborne
There is an innocence or purity that we see in renewals and in the Mennonite church and a new an invigorated civil rights movement.
Shane Claiborne
The death penalty has succeeded in America, not in spite of Christians, but because of us. The Bible Belt is the Death Belt. Wherever Christians are most concentrated is where executions are happening, and that's deeply troubling to me.
Shane Claiborne
Our churches should attract the people Jesus attracted and frustrate the people Jesus frustrated.
Shane Claiborne
We need good laws, but no law can change a human heart - only God can do that.
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.

There is extreme poverty in Appalachia, where I was, and increasingly poverty is not just an urban thing.
Shane Claiborne
I'm excited we can be part of making the death penalty history.

When you poll snake person Christians, Christians born after 1980, it's like 80% of them are against the death penalty. It's not because they've thrown out their faith, but it's because of their faith they can't reconcile the death penalty with Jesus and their commitment to Jesus.
Shane Claiborne
The love that makes community is the willingness to do someone else's dirty work.
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 are some things to die for but none to kill for.
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.
Shane Claiborne
Christians pretty much live like everybody else, they just sprinkle a little Jesus in along the way.
Shane Claiborne
It is the church's responsibility, the government's responsibility, and the personal responsibility of every one of us to love.
Shane Claiborne
I say let's be idealists. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not yet see (Hebrews 11:1).
Shane Claiborne
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.
Shane Claiborne
Little movements of communities of ordinary radicals are committed to doing small things with great love.

People had taught me what Christians believe, but no one had told me how Christians live.
