Sometimes the biggest barrier to that has been Christians and has been a Church that is numb to the poverty of the world or just sees our Christianity as a ticket into heaven while ignoring the hells of the world around us. And we're not willing to settle for that kind of Christianity. We believe in a kingdom that begins now and that the kingdom of God Jesus preached is not just something we're to go to when we die but that we're to bring down on earth as it is in heaven.","author":"Shane Claiborne","tags":["faith","hope","jesus-the-christ","love"],"id":27734,"author_id":"Shane+Claiborne"},{"text":"Elohim is my salvation, my strength and my song.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["belief","believe-and-achieve","believers","christian","christianity-faith","consciousness","faith-in-god","faith","god","grace-and-favor","hope-lailah-gifty-akita","inner-courage","jesus-the-christ","lailah-gifty-akita-affirmations","positive-motivation","religion-christianity","religious-faith","saved-from-sin","saved-souls","spiritual","spiritual-wisdom","strength-and-courage"],"id":44222,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"When you wish to talk to someone, talk to Jesus, He loves to hear you speak.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["answers-silence","answers-to-prayer","companionship","jesus-the-christ","prayer","prayer-worship","prayerful-habits","prayers-answered","prayers-of-the-heart","praying-life","speak","speaking-difficulties","speaking-silence","speaking-to-god","speaking-your-mind","spiritual-growth","spiritual-insights","spiritual-faith","talking","talking-to-god","talking-to-yourself","wishes-dreams","wishes-fulfilled","wishes"],"id":125990,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Jesus is the Son of God.We are sons and daughters of God.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["believers","calling-people","christian","christianity","destiny","faith","fate","god","god-s-grace","inspirational-life","jesus-the-christ","mission","religion","religion-and-philosophy","wise-sayings"],"id":131818,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Jesus is a descendant of David, the beloved of God.
