More quotes by Shane Claiborne
Faith is believing in the impossible because we have a God who is master of impossible.
Shane Claiborne
As an American, and especially as a Christian, I am convinced that a love for our own people is not a bad thing, but love doesn't stop at borders. Love is infinitely boundless and all about holy trespassing and offensive friendships.
Shane Claiborne
It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.
Shane Claiborne
There are some Christians who totally disengage from politics and set their minds on heaven so much that their faith is so heavenly minded that it is no earthly good.
Shane Claiborne
Sometimes our tunnel vision is limited to what we see outside our window. Until racial injustice becomes personal then I don't think it moves us in our gut.
Shane Claiborne
There is extreme poverty in Appalachia, where I was, and increasingly poverty is not just an urban thing.
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
Over and over, when I ask God why all of these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, You tell me why we allow this to happen. You are my body, my hands, my feet.

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.

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
There is real value in these local congregations. For me, a lot of it is the value of the sacraments we share. In neighborhoods like ours, the churches provide stability.
Shane Claiborne
In the Bible, God uses brothel owners, pagan kings, murderers and mercenaries as instruments of good at one point God even speaks to a guy named Balaam through his donkey.
Shane Claiborne
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
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
[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
The church is like Noah's ark. It stinks, but if you get out of it, you'll drown.
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
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.
