More quotes by Shane Claiborne
My goal is to speak the truth in love. There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth.
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.

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
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
We are setting ourselves up for disappointment if our hope is built on anything less than Jesus.

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
We have a relational problem with those who are suffering or who are different from us. All of us are most comfortable around people who are like us culturally and economically.
Shane Claiborne
But as I pursued that dream of upward mobility preparing for college, things just didn't fit together. As I read Scriptures about how the last will be first, I started wondering why I was working so hard to be first.
Shane Claiborne
The love that makes community is the willingness to do someone else's dirty work.
Shane Claiborne
As my friend said that when people say the church is full of hypocrites, he says we always have room for more.
Shane Claiborne
Jesus still has a really great reputation and the Spirit is still moving. I've got a lot of hope for a generation that takes Jesus seriously, once again.
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.
Shane Claiborne
How ironic is it to see a bumper sticker that says 'Jesus is the answer' next to a bumper sticker supporting the war in Iraq, as if to says 'Jesus is the answer - but not in the real world.
Shane Claiborne
The problem is that the Chicken-Soup-for-the-Soul stuff may feel good, but none of that typical stuff helps when somebody in your neighborhood is murdered.
Shane Claiborne
I think in the end, God's justice is redemptive, it's restorative, it's about giving life, not taking life.
Shane Claiborne
It is the church's responsibility, the government's responsibility, and the personal responsibility of every one of us to love.
