“And I ask again, can you feel the falseness? I hope you can. If you can, it means you have a heart for the truth. Keep feeding that holy desire. ‘Buy the truth and do not sell it.’ Trust the holy instincts within- the instincts of compassion aroused by the Holy Spirit.
Some will say power trumps everything, but you’ve always known mercy triumphs over judgement.” (p.126)

“The Palm Sunday shout is ‘hosanna’! It means ‘save now’. In a world married to war, now more than ever, we need to acclaim Christ as King and shout hosanna!

“Christians are on Main Street as citizens in the nation of their citizenship, but they are never fully home in it. We’re on Main Street, but we’re also exiles on Main Street. This is the tension created by baptism- from the moment we are baptized into the body of Christ, we become expatriates in the land of our birth.” (P.51)

“I love you, America… but not like that. Not in the way of supreme allegiance and unquestioned devotion. You see, my heart belongs to another. I’m a Christian, and I confess that Jesus is Lord…
The last best hope of Earth is Jesus, not you.” (p.41-42)
