Here are some quotes from chapter six of Radical.
"If there is no sign of caring for the poor in our lives, then there is reason to at least question whether Christ is in our hearts."
"What is the difference between someone who willfully indulges in sexual pleasures while ignoring the Bible on moral purity and someone who willfully indulges in the selfish pursuit of more and more material possessions while ignoring the Bible on caring for the poor? The difference is that one involves a social taboo in the church and the other involves the social norm in the church."
"Regardless of what we say or sign or study on Sunday morning, rich people who neglect the poor are not the people of God."
"Are you and I looking to Jesus for advice that seems fiscally responsible according to the standards of the world around us? Or are we looking to Jesus for total leadership in our lives, even if that means going against everything our affluent culture and maybe even our affluent religious neighbors might tell us to do?"
"There will continue to be millions and millions of people who do not hear the gospel as long as we continue to use spare time and spare money to reach them."
