"A Tame Christianity"

"Being a Christian is not just a matter of being kind and patient.  It is also a matter of being tough, committed, and passionate.  This is particularly necessary when things desperately need to change.  And things usually do not change when people are only kind and patient, but when, along with such qualities, they are prepared to make the hard decisions no matter what the personal cost, and when they care enough to risk change.  There are times when the borken-in horse many be of good use, but sometimes we do need the fiery stallion." (Bonhoeffer)

I sent a follow up quote to Facebook.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
