More quotes by 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.

[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
Christians pretty much live like everybody else, they just sprinkle a little Jesus in along the way.
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
I think a lot of people view the death penalty as a debate class or something. The cost and what's at stake is really, really a big deal.
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
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
All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tiptoe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don't tiptoe.
Shane Claiborne
Little movements of communities of ordinary radicals are committed to doing small things with great love.

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
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
I like how someone once said being a Christian is not about having new ideas but having new eyes. This is the ability to have our hearts broken with the things that break the heart of God. That is part of what it means to be a Christian.
Shane Claiborne
I say let's be idealists. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not yet see (Hebrews 11:1).
Shane Claiborne
The end of war begins with people who believe that another world is possible and that another empire has already interrupted time and space and is taking over this earth with the dreams of God.
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.
Shane Claiborne
There is an innocence or purity that we see in renewals and in the Mennonite church and a new an invigorated civil rights movement.
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
We need good laws, but no law can change a human heart - only God can do that.
Shane Claiborne
It is the church's responsibility, the government's responsibility, and the personal responsibility of every one of us to love.
Shane Claiborne
We have been mentored from the very beginning by Catholic folks who are invigorating the best of the monastic spirit.
