“Before you buy, ask yourself, By buying this am I oppressing the poor or harming the earth”

I love the sentiment… but why the random capitalized letters

JMC is so based for incinerating every aspect of late stage capitalism without even meaning too, or maybe he did lol

Another one lol

“But Jesus never commands you to wake up in the morning and have a quiet time, read your Bible, live in community, practice Sabbath, give your money to the poor, or any of the core practices from his way.
He just does these practices and then says, Follow me.”

“And like all habits, they are a means to an end… When the spiritual disciplines (Bible reading, prayer, Sabbath, and so on) become an end in and of themselves, you've arrived at legalism.
Therein lies death, not life.”

“What a trellis is to a vine, a rule of life is to abiding. It's a structure- in this case a schedule and a set of practices -to set up abiding as the central pursuit of your life.”

It’s been so good
