More quotes by Shane Claiborne
What is the point in calling anything God if it does not also hold sway in every part of one's life--especially one's politics?
Shane Claiborne
God doesn't want to change the world without you.
Shane Claiborne
God can use anything, and anyone - even a king or a president, even a tax collector or a businessman, a priest or a prostitute, a Republican or a Democrat.
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
Our churches should attract the people Jesus attracted and frustrate the people Jesus frustrated.
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
Rather than finding the devil out there, we battle the devil within us. The revolution starts inside each of us.
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.
Shane Claiborne
Because you can poke someone's eye out legally doesn't mean you should and that it's right. The Bible teaches us a more perfect justice.
Shane Claiborne
A pastor friend of mine said, Our problem is that we no longer have martyrs. We only have celebrities.
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
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.

[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.
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
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
Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.
Shane Claiborne
We say it is idealistic to think we can continue to live the way we live - with 5% of the world using half the world's resources, with $20,000 a second being spent on war.
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
To refer to the Church as a building is to call people 2 x 4's.
Shane Claiborne
One by one, these disciples would infect the nations with grace. It wasn't a call to take the sword or the throne and force the world to bow. Rather, they were to live the contagious love of God, to woo the nations into a new future.
