It Is The Church's Job,

One Of The Great Dangers In Political Engagement Is Misplaced Hope.

When You Look At The Bible, And I Read The Bible Very Seriously, For A Lot Of My Life, I Believed The Bible Ordained The Death Penalty, And The Bible Seemed To Be Very Clear About That. But The More I Look, The More Troubled I Became Because It's Not That Simple. In The Bible, There's Some 30 Death-worth Crimes, Like Working On The Sabbath, Or Disrespecting Your Parents. Are We That Fundamental That We Should Bring Back That Death Penalty?

We Have To Use Our Discontentment To Engage Rather Than Disengage - Our Hope Has To Be More Powerful Than Our Cynicism.

Faith Is Not Accepting The World As It Is But Insisting On Building The World God Wants.

Christianity Is At Its Best When It Is Peculiar, Marginalized, Suffering, And It Is At Its Worst When It Is Popular, Credible, Triumphal, And Powerful.
