Nowhere in the Hebrew Scriptures does it say that God is omnipotent.
Tony Campolo
Most of my fundamentalist brothers and sisters - and I am an evangelical, so I can say most of my fundamentalist brothers and sisters - are quite willing to pack women off and send them as missionaries to dangerous places where they might get killed.
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?”

Jesus never says to the poor: ‘come find the church’, but he says to those of us in the church: ‘go into the world and find the poor, hungry, homeless, imprisoned.
Tony Campolo
Let us preach Christ, let us be faithful to proclaiming the Gospel, but let's leave judgment in the hands of God.
Tony Campolo
I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.

Women have the same privileges and opportunities as men, given the New Testament.

One of the most startling discoveries of my life was the realization that the Jesus that I love, the Jesus who died for me on Calvary, that Jesus, is waiting, mystically and wonderfully, in every person I meet. I find Jesus everywhere.

Evangelicals need to take a good look at what their issues are. Are they really being faithful to Jesus? Are they being faithful to the Bible?
Tony Campolo
I contend that, in spite of all that might be said about Watergate, Richard Nixon was good for the poor people of America.
Tony Campolo
In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.
Tony Campolo
Most Evangelicals claim to be politically non-partisan, and say they only identify with the Republican Party because the Republicans are committed to 'family values.
Tony Campolo
I am not suggesting that all those missionary organizations working in Haiti should pack up and go home, but I am urging them to understand that Haiti does not need clever Americans with newly contrived schemes for saving their country.
Tony Campolo
I don't doubt that God can bring good out of tragedies, but the Bible is clear that God is not the author of evil!
Tony Campolo
Our call is to be God's agents, to rescue not only the human race but the whole of creation.
Tony Campolo
I don't know how your theology works, but if Jesus has a choice between stained glass windows and feeding starving kids in Haiti, I have a feeling he'd choose the starving kids in Haiti.
Tony Campolo
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.
