When we ask God to move a mountain, God may give us a shovel.
Shane Claiborne
The more recent effort to encourage everyone to pray in common involves so many people.
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
To refer to the Church as a building is to call people 2 x 4's.
Shane Claiborne
There is one big misunderstanding of the monastics leaving society.
Shane Claiborne
For even if the whole world believed in resurrection, little would change until we began to practice it. We can believe in CPR, but people will remain dead until someone breathes new life into them. And we can tell the world that there is life after death, but the world really seems to be wondering if there is life before death.
Shane Claiborne
Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.
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 folks who burn the Koran and hold signs saying, God hates fags and all sorts of sick things - and they often hijack the headlines with hatred. We know that is not what Christ was like.
Shane Claiborne
I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians. Christians who have had so much to say with our mouths and so little to show with our lives. I am sorry that so often we have forgotten the Christ of our Christianity.

What the Black lives matter movement is doing is they are making it personal. They are making it hash tagged, exposing the racial injustice that continues to haunt our country in a way that you can't ignore. There is power in injustice becoming personal.
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 might hope to change the world through better, bigger programs to stop global warming, but global warming will not end unless people become less greedy and less wasteful, gaining a fresh vision of what it means to love our global neighbor.
Shane Claiborne
If those of us who believe in God do not believe God's grace is big enough to save the whole world... well, we should at least pray that it is.
Shane Claiborne
Biological family is too small of a vision. Patriotism is far too myopic. A love for our own relatives and a love for the people of our own country are not bad things, but our love does not stop at the border.
Shane Claiborne
There are some things to die for but none to kill for.
Shane Claiborne
Christians pretty much live like everybody else, they just sprinkle a little Jesus in along the way.
Shane Claiborne
I believe you know Jesus said a doctor doesn't come to the healthy, but the sick, and it's not the righteous but the sinners that I've come for, so I think that that's the scandal of God's love and grace that no one is beyond redemption, and we can see that all through scripture, you know.
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.
