We cannot handle injustice by finding more ways to impose what is in fact “right” on people. It has to come from the inside. And that’s where the church should be working.
Even professing Christians, by and large, devote to their spiritual growth and well-being a tiny fraction of the time they devote to their body, and it is even tinier fraction if we include what they worry about.
Spiritual people are not those who engage in certain spiritual practices; they are those who draw their life from a conversational relationship with God.
The transformation of the social world is at its heart the transformation of personal relations. That’s the key to transforming society in the larger arena.
We have churches full of people who profess all kinds of stuff that they don’t believe. They think that by professing it they’re doing something good. Really, they’re just deluding themselves.
