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
Christians pretty much live like everybody else, they just sprinkle a little Jesus in along the way.
Shane Claiborne
There is one big misunderstanding of the monastics leaving society.
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
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.
Shane Claiborne
