"There is nothing wrong with a traffic law which says you have to stop for a red light. But when a man is bleeding, the ambulance goes through those red lights at top speed... Disinherited people all over the world are bleeding to death from deep social and economic wounds. They need brigades of ambulance drivers who will have to ignore the red lights of the present system until the emergency is solved."
"The world is in dire need of creative extremists. We live now in extreme times. The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love?"
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Christians should be troublemakers, creators of uncertainty, agents of a dimension incompatible with society."
- Jacques Ellul
"Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: 'Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!'? These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings."
- Paul, Colossians 2:20-22
Sometimes I just get frustrated with the restrictions and limitations that the world imposes on us. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. And, I'm glad to know that they don't hold us back from doing the will of the LORD!
