More quotes by Tony Campolo
It has been said that people never do evil with more enthusiasm than when they do it in the name of God.

Those issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick, to feed the hungry, to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical, everything would change.

A Christian school should be a place where young men and young women go through a period of spiritual formation and development so that they come out incredibly more proficient at living out their calling than they would have been had they not gone to school.
Tony Campolo
I've got some repenting to do. I doubt, however, that those who have wedded Christianity with laissez-faire capitalism will see things this way. I can just hear them saying, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Whenever there is a catastrophe, some religious people inevitably ask, 'Why didn't God do something? Where was God when all those people died?'
Tony Campolo
Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed, are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit, and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.
Tony Campolo
Sadly, we do a much better job of making people feel guilty than we do of delivering them from the guilt we create. We need to confess this and change our ways.
Tony Campolo
The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.
Tony Campolo
I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.
Tony Campolo
Most of us are tiptoeing through life so we can reach death safely. We should be praying, If I should wake before I die. . . . Life can get away from you.
Tony Campolo
What I am trying to say is that Jesus who incarnated God 2,000 years ago is mystically present and waiting to be discovered in EVERY person you and I encounter
Tony Campolo
