“Christ’s church is composed of people. These people are very much alive. We do well to view ourselves as what we are—a people. Instead of thinking in terms of static things such as buildings or institutions, we more accurately and beneficially think of Christ’s body as a thriving, growing mass of humanity that loves Jesus.”
― Eric Carpenter, Simple Church: Unity Within Diversity

“What’s critical to understand is that you have access to that same eternal life-giving Spirit that powered Jesus. The words and actions of Jesus were originating from the same source. That same authority from which Jesus spoke and acted is in us.”
― Jim Palmer, Inner Anarchy: Dethroning God and Jesus to Save Ourselves and the World

“Without wavering, hold to your confession of hope in Christ. His promises are unbreakable. It’s not about your abilities, but God’s promises. Your faith is dependent upon His promise, not your performance. It’s all about the praise of His grace. He is faithful, not because you do enough right, but because He has given you a promise that is founded upon Christ and not you.”
― Eddie Snipes, The Revelation of Grace: Founded Upon Grace Series: Book 1

“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
