So there I was, it was 8.25 on Monday morning at Kwik Fit in Berwick on Tweed (don't ask) and trying to finish 'Velvet Elvis' (Rob Bell) and I read this, which for you, my multitude of readers (0 is the count for the last 2 weeks) is my top quote of the week......
'That is why it is so toxic for the gospel when Christians picket and boycott and complain how bad the world is.... why blame the dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn't as bright as it could be.' (p166).
I also like this- ok it is technically a 2nd quote....
'The church doesn't exist for itself; it exists to serve the world. It is not ultimately about the church; its about all the people God wants to bless through the church. When the church loses sight of this, it loses its heart' (p165)
They are making me think this week. So is half term- I have had approx 25 interruptions from little people since I began this post.....
