HEATHER HENRY

“People really do need improved access to clean water, better health care, decent education, and a living wage. But they, and we, need something far more profound. Whether we realize it or not, we all are longing for an intimate relationship with God, for a sense of dignity, for community and belonging, and for the ability to use our gifts and abilities to develop creation.”
― Eugene Cho, Overrated: Are We More in Love with the Idea of Changing the World Than Actually Changing the World?

“And this is the gospel: The good news is not merely that Jesus saves but that Jesus is with us. The promise of the gospel isn’t the health and wealth we often hear through erroneous prosperity theology, but that in all situations, God is with us.”
― Eugene Cho, Overrated: Are We More in Love with the Idea of Changing the World Than Actually Changing the World?

“Where evil men would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good men must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.2”
― Eugene Cho, Overrated: Are We More in Love with the Idea of Changing the World Than Actually Changing the World?

“The gift of biblical wisdom, in other words, is not all about getting a privileged seat in God’s traffic control tower of the world. We don’t get to understand why things happen the way they do. We are mistaken if we think wisdom gives us that sort of insight.”
― Jeffrey Meyers, Ecclesiastes Through New Eyes: A Table in the Mist
