Quotes: Rich Mullins

Jesus said whatever you do to the least of these my brothers you’ve done it to me. And this is what I’ve come to think. That if I want to identify fully with Jesus Christ, who I claim to be my savior and Lord, the best way that I can do that is to identify with the poor. This I know will go against the teachings of all the popular evangelical preachers. But they’re just wrong. They’re not bad, they’re just wrong. Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in a beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.

Quotes: Shannon Poindexter

The best apologetics for Christianity is love.

Quotes: Martin Luther King, Jr.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Quotes: Gandhi

Only rarely and only between like natures, can friends be altogether worthy and enduring…In friendship there is very little scope for reform…All exclusive intmacies are to be avoided.  He who would be friends with God must remain alone, or make the whole world his friend

(Gandhi: The Man, His People, and The Empire, 75-76)
