We Have Been Mentored From

The Early Christians Felt A Deep Collision With The Empire In Which They Lived, And With Politics As Usual. They Carelessly Crossed Party Lines And Built Subversive Friendships. And We Should Do That Too.

Because You Can Poke Someone's Eye Out Legally Doesn't Mean You Should And That It's Right. The Bible Teaches Us A More Perfect Justice.

...i Believe In A God Of Scandalous Grace. I Have Pledged Allegiance To A King Who Loved Evildoers So Much He Died For Them, Teaching Us That There Is Something Worth Dying For But Nothing Worth Killing For.

Only Jesus Would Be Crazy Enough To Suggest That If You Want To Become The Greatest, You Should Become The Least. Only Jesus Would Declare God's Blessing On The Poor Rather Than On The Rich And Would Insist That It's Not Enough To Just Love Your Friends. I Just Began To Wonder If Anybody Still Believed Jesus Meant Those Things He Said.

We're Not Church Planters. We Are Community Planters And, As We Work In Our Communities, We Join Local Churches.
