The evening was led by Jean-Pierre. We discussed servanthood and the importance for us to be serving. We can have all the knowledge in the world but without serving other we do not have love and, well, you know the rest of 1 Cor 13.
JP played us portions from the book 'Irresistable Revolution' by Shane Claiborne. The book is about an authentic Christian life. In Shane's view, he is an ordinary radical in the truest sense of the word, returning to the roots of Christianity by living as Jesus did and doing "small things with great love."
Quotes that stood out:
It's not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that worries me but those that I do understand.
Live like you believe in heaven and hell
Live as if what you're saying is true.
We've eliminated the need for miracles.
We need to live like Jesus lived. We need to serve others. Why are we not doing it? Are we too busy to spend time with the poor because we are trying to prevent becoming poor ourselves. What needs to change for us to become servants?
