A tasty sampling from the forthcoming Yoder book
06/24/12+ Share
I am in the middle of editing the full draft and simply had to share a glimpse with you all.
"How would Christians be different if they truly believed that God is an overpowering reality, as revealed in the work of the Son? We would probably stop trying to measure our commitment by other people’s standards. This is the root of nonconformity. We would not make our day to day ethical decisions about minor matters on the basis of whether anybody is watching. We would not make our decisions about the use of violence and power to accomplish our purposes by calculating what is possible and what the results are likely to be. When the resurrection stands at the center of our message human standards of possibility do not apply. When all the doors are closed, God opens a window or takes off the roof." Radical Christian Discipleship -- to be released this fall.
