Whenever Folks Say Radical Christianity

Money Has Power. And So Withholding Money Has Power Too, Especially When A Bunch Of People Do It Together.

Governments Can Do Lots Of Things, But There Are A Lot Of Things They Cannot Do. A Government Can Provide Good Housing, But Folks Can Have A House Without Having A Home. We Can Keep People Breathing With Good Health Care, But They Still May Not Really Be Alive.

The Question Becomes Not Just How To Accumulate More, But How To Covet Less.

We Think Of Justice Sometimes As Getting What You Deserve, You Know  -  what Crime Was Committed And What Is The Punishment For That Crime. That's How A Lot Of The Criminal Justice Works. But God's Justice Is Restorative, So It's Not As Interested In Those Same Questions Of "what Did They Do Wrong?" And "what Is The Punishment For That?" It's More About What Harm Was Done And How Do We Heal That Harm, And That's A Much More Redemptive Version. So, It Definitely Doesn't Turn A Blind Eye To Harm, But It Does Say We Want To Heal The Wounds Of That.

Someday War And Poverty Will Be Crazy And We Will Wonder How The World Allowed Such Things To Exist.
