“ Deep down in all of us there is a tendency to want to prove ourselves, to base our worth on what we do. ”
Holiness is as much about what you do on a Monday morning on the factory floor as it is about what you do on a Sunday morning in a church gathering. Holiness is as much about the kind of neighbour you are as it is about the kind of church member you are. It is as much about who you are when you are holding a steering wheel as who you are when you are holding a Bible.
~ Tim Chester
It is bad enough when rich Christians show little concern for the poor, but when they moan about their lot, they show contempt not only for the poor but also for the generosity of God.
The task is to become church for them, among them and with them, and under Spirit of God to lead them to become church in their own culture.
It is often out encounter with culture that first reveals to us our own culture.
