This might sound a little harsh but what I’ve seen a lot of in a lot progressive Christianity is people saying “We want to be the good guys, and we want to be really clear we’re not the bad buys, so we’re going to jettison the Bible and Jesus, and we’ll let them have that…” I just feel like the Bible and Jesus are the only two things we have going for us … so I have no idea why we’d want to let go of those. Those things are compelling. Being goodwill industries — while definitely doing Kingdom of God work — is not nearly as compelling as the gospel. Nadia Bolz-Weber ☀
