“Then some unknown rebellion brewed in you, doing harm to you, though how I do not understand.”

There are voices crying what must be done, a hundred, a thousand voices.

For mines are for men, not for money. And money is not something to go mad about, and throw your hat into the air for.

Now God be thanked that the name of a hill is such music, that the name of a river can heal.

To give up the task of reforming society is to give up one’s responsibility as a free man.

But I have learned that kindness and love can pay for pain and suffering.

Who knows for what we live, and struggle, and die?…

Cry for the broken tribe, for the law and the custom that is gone. Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved.

Unless the church is equipping believers to embrace the values and vision of the kingdom of God and turn away from the materialism, consumerism, greed, and power of the present age.

The notion that the church, the press, and the universities should serve the state is essentially a Communist notion.

In missional churches, the baby birds have been pushed out of the nest and are learning to fly for themselves.

The ones that are running rampant within our churches largely go unaddressed.
