“Jesus never allowed himself to be defined by the political conflicts of his day, and neither should we.”
Gregory A. Boyd, The Myth of a Christian Nation: How the Quest for Political Power Is Destroying the Church

“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.”
Stephen Crosby, The New Testament Prophet: Understanding the Mind, Temperament, and Calling

Gregory A. Boyd
“Love is the all-or-nothing of the kingdom of God. Above all we are to love (Col. 3:14; 1 Peter 4:8). Everything we do is to be done in love and, thus, communicate love (1 Cor. 16:14). We are to imitate God by living in Christlike love (Eph. 5:1–2), and if we do this, we fulfill the whole law (Matt. 22:37–40; Rom. 13:8–10). If we lack this, everything else we do is devoid of kingdom value, however impressive it might otherwise be (1 Cor. 13:1–3).”

“Jesus did not create a new religion, but set us free from all the rules and regulations of religion”

Ronnie McBrayer
“Children live their lives with simplicity, not having acquired the mindset of harming others to gain some level of self-imposed success. A child—whether seven or seventy—is that person who still has a trusting heart, who is still dependent upon the Father and who has not lost the God-given gift of humility.”
Ronnie McBrayer, How Far Is Heaven?: Rediscovering the Kingdom of God in the Here and Now
