the Jesus Manifesto by Frank Viola and Leanord Sweet
"Jesus Christ cannot be separated from his teachings.
Aristotle says to his disciples, ―Follow my teachings.
Socrates says to his disciples, ―Follow my teachings.
Buddha says to his disciples, ―Follow my meditations.
Confucius says to his disciples, ―Follow my sayings.
Muhammad says to his disciples, ―Follow my noble pillars.
Jesus says to his disciples, ―Follow me.
In all other religions, a follower can follow the teachings of its founder without having a relationship with that founder. Not so with Jesus Christ. The teachings of Jesus cannot be separated from Jesus himself. Jesus Christ is still alive and he embodies his teachings. It is a profound mistake, therefore, to treat Christ as simply the founder of a set of moral, ethical, or social teaching. The Lord Jesus and his teaching are one. The Medium and the Message are One. Christ is the incarnation of the Kingdom of God and the Sermon on the Mount."

Quote of the Day:
"Walter Brueggemann says the job of the prophet is to free people from their numbness. That is also the task of the church. It is to wake people up, to bring them to consciousness, and not just to comfort them in their unconscious state. I am afraid a lot of soft piety and too quick religious comfort does precisely that. The giveaway is when one finds no attitude of service, volunteerism, or compassion for the outsider emerging from one’s attendance at church services.
True prophetic religion allows us to hold, suffer, and also enjoy all that God holds, suffers, and enjoys—which is everything—the good and the bad of our histories."
-Richard Rohr
