More quotes by Shane Claiborne
God comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.
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
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
Look through the prayer books. You'll see lots of dates. You'll see names of Native Americans remembered. This was an open-sourcing project among so many people.
Shane Claiborne
I'm just not convinced that Jesus is going to say, When I was hungry, you gave a check to the United Way and they fed me.
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
If we believe terrorists are past redemption, we should just rip up like 1/2 the New Testament because it was written by one.

It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.
Shane Claiborne
A pastor friend of mine said, Our problem is that we no longer have martyrs. We only have celebrities.
Shane Claiborne
Whenever folks say radical Christianity is a phase of youth, I tell them they need to meet our 80-year-old nun or my friend Tony Campolo.
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
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
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
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
Liturgy and worship were never meant to be confined to the cathedrals and sanctuaries. Liturgy at its best can be performed like a circus or theater - making the Gospel visible as a witness to the world around us.
Shane Claiborne
We've heard from people all around the world, telling us that this is their reality. People need a way to connect the sometimes really hard reality in which they wake up each morning with the movement of the Spirit.
Shane Claiborne
There is one big misunderstanding of the monastics leaving society.
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
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.
Shane Claiborne
Faith is believing in the impossible because we have a God who is master of impossible.
