“Our relationships with one another are the canvas upon which our relationship with God is put on display. We know we have passed from death to life because we love the brotherhood, [38] not because we are scrupulous about observing the Sabbath and keeping the feasts. Our love of the brotherhood is the proof of our love for God, not the lists of things that we so often accept as the standard for holiness.”

“Contrary to many stereotypes today, real, New Covenant-based Christianity is the best thing that ever happened to women compared to the attitudes in Judaism and the pagans of their day. That is one of the many reasons that most early converts to Christianity were women and children. The real gospel undoes male hegemony.”

“Pagans were able to overcome their suspicion of their neighbor Christ-followers by observing how the Christ-followers lived in an exemplary fashion before them. Early converts were not won to Christ because of great preaching and teaching and worship services. Rather, they were won by the quality of life they saw being lived before their eyes: how believers took care of each other. Many of the things we think are important to “church” and “ministry” mattered not at all to first century pagans who ultimately converted. This is something to seriously consider.”
