As my friend said that when people say the church is full of hypocrites, he says we always have room for more.

How ironic is it to see a bumper sticker that says 'Jesus is the answer' next to a bumper sticker supporting the war in Iraq, as if to says 'Jesus is the answer - but not in the real world.

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
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.

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

The church is a place where broken people can fall in love with a beautiful God.
Shane Claiborne
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.
Shane Claiborne
The dreams get anchored in aged wisdom not some utopian fantasy.
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
Faith is believing in the impossible because we have a God who is master of impossible.
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'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
We know the Church wasn't born 200 years ago. It's encouraging to see some of the post-denominational churches actually wanting to reconnect with the story and the prayer life of the larger Church.
