I love it when this happens

I love it when I'm stewing over several things- money, wealth, power- what is this "Emerging church" thing, how do I behave as a follower of Christ in a culture basted in money and power- and along comes a quote that sums it up for me nicely. Here it is, by none other than one of my fav. people- Rob Bell


“How do comfortable Christians in the suburbs join the God of the oppressed? Is it even possible? I live in a city where one in five people live in poverty and on 28th Street they just opened a new Hummer dealership... I need this seminar because I need to know what following Jesus looks like in an empire where so few have so much and so many have so little.” -Rob Bell

I hear John Williams "Empire Strikes back" playing in my head....
