The Future Of The Church Is Also

Biological Family Is Too Small Of A Vision. Patriotism Is Far Too Myopic. A Love For Our Own Relatives And A Love For The People Of Our Own Country Are Not Bad Things, But Our Love Does Not Stop At The Border.

The More I Have Read The Bible And Studied The Life Of Jesus, The More I Have Become Convinced That Christianity Spreads Best Not Through Force But Through Fascination.

I Believe You Know Jesus Said "a Doctor Doesn't Come To The Healthy, But The Sick, And It's Not The Righteous But The Sinners That I've Come For," So I Think That That's The Scandal Of God's Love And Grace That No One Is Beyond Redemption, And We Can See That All Through Scripture, You Know.

One By One, These Disciples Would Infect The Nations With Grace. It Wasn't A Call To Take The Sword Or The Throne And Force The World To Bow. Rather, They Were To Live The Contagious Love Of God, To Woo The Nations Into A New Future.

For Even If The Whole World Believed In Resurrection, Little Would Change Until We Began To Practice It. We Can Believe In Cpr, But People Will Remain Dead Until Someone Breathes New Life Into Them. And We Can Tell The World That There Is Life After Death, But The World Really Seems To Be Wondering If There Is Life Before Death.
