Quotes

We ought to think about getting tangled up.  The streamlined life is not worth living, Community and friendship are things to get tangled up in.  They aren't easy or efficient.  But they give meaning to our lives. -Greg Veltman, Comment Magazine, "Making Friends for Life", 2006.

To be a Christian is to work for the new humanity.  Jesus commands his followers to feed and clothe and visit and take care of those who need it.  They're fellow image-bearers, they're just like us, and when we love them, we're loving God-Rob Bell in "Sex God"

"To criticize pornography is not repressive," writes Jensen. "To speak about what one knows and feels and dreams is, in fact liberating.  We are not free if we aren't free to talk about our desire for an egalitarian intimacy and sexuality that would reject pain and humiliation.  That is not prudishness or censorship. . . It is to say that people matter more than the profits of pornographers and the pleasure of pornography consumers."  Dines asserts that speaking out against harmful sexuality makes us no more anti-sex than speaking out against unhealthy fast food makes us anti-eating.  We hate pornography precisely because we love sex so much!  As Christians, we affirm the beauty of the body and the sanctity of God's gift of sexuality.  Let us reclaim it, unashamedly.-From "Living in a Rape Culture", Prism Magazine, Sept/Oct. 2008
