change or be changed « Vehement Adventure

As the contemporary church ponders and is led by these texts [scripture], its own vocation in the world becomes more clear and more radical. These texts empower the church to imagine an alternative political economy of covenant, to practice that alternative in its own life, and to testify to that alternative in the life of the world. Such a church that imagines, practices, and testifies alternatively may be a saving contradiction to the claims so powerful in the world. -Walter Brueggemann

change or be changed

But we must begin b giving up any idea that we can bring about these healings without fundamental changes in the way we think and live. We face a choice that is starkly simple: we must change or be changed. If we fail to change for the better, then we will be changed for the worse. -”Sex, Economy, Freedom, & Community” by Wendell Berry

A split-vision worldview that divides faith from life, church from culture, theology from economics, prayer from politics, and worship from everyday work will always render Christian faith irrelevant to broad sociocultural forces. And that is exactly what the empire wants- a robust, piously engaging private faith that will never transgress the public square. -Colossians Remixed
