More quotes by Shane Claiborne
We are setting ourselves up for disappointment if our hope is built on anything less than Jesus.
Shane Claiborne
God comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.
Shane Claiborne
To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians.
Shane Claiborne
I do believe that the Church is God's primary instrument for ushering in the Kingdom (God's dream) on earth as it is in heaven, but God is not limited to use only the Church, or only Christians for that matter.
Shane Claiborne
Someday war and poverty will be crazy and we will wonder how the world allowed such things to exist.
Shane Claiborne
This is what Jesus had in mind: folks coming together, forming close-knit communities and meeting each other's needs-- no kings, no major welfare systems, no presidents necessary. His is a theology and practice for the people of God, not a set of suggestions for empire.
Shane Claiborne
Jesus taught us a prayer of community and reconciliation, belonging to a new people who have left the land of 'me'.
Shane Claiborne
We are faithful not to the triumphant golden eagle (ironically, also an imperial symbol of power in Rome) but to the slaughtered Lamb.
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
Dance until they kill you, and then we'll dance some more.
Shane Claiborne
The more recent effort to encourage everyone to pray in common involves so many people.
Shane Claiborne
There are some things to die for but none to kill for.
Shane Claiborne
Christianity is at its best when it is peculiar, marginalized, suffering, and it is at its worst when it is popular, credible, triumphal, and powerful.
Shane Claiborne
It's always a good idea to have a nun next to you when you get arrested!
Shane Claiborne
David, Moses, Saul of Tarsus, these were all people who did terrible terrible things - they were murderers. The Bible would be a lot shorter without grace.
Shane Claiborne
I think we've misinterpreted some of the scriptures to justify the death penalty. So whereas a lot of folks in America feel like we can do far better justice - it's more expensive to do the death penalty than the alternatives - there's so many reasons that people come to the conclusion to abolish the death penalty.
Shane Claiborne
The dreams get anchored in aged wisdom not some utopian fantasy.
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
There are people who are dangerous, and evil is real.
Shane Claiborne
[Mahatma] Ghandi said in a world with so many hungry people it just makes sense that God would come as food. God sent the living bread and the living water in a world where there is so much thirst and so much hunger.
