The Story of Everything: How You, Your Pets, and the Swiss Alps Fit into God's Plan for the World Quotes

“The situation for the children of Israel is parallel to the situation the church finds itself in today. That situation is called exile. Exile presupposes that we are in Babylon, not Jerusalem. So one of the major mistakes the church has made is expecting Babylon to act like Jerusalem, to be like Jerusalem, to recognize Jerusalem as an ideal. We see this in the way Christians keep trying to convince non-Christians that America is really a Christian nation and needs to start acting like it again. The church's missional posture has reflected this expectation. But the reality is that we should not expect Babylon to start acting like Jerusalem. The church should instead live like Jerusalem within Babylon (Matt. 5:14; John 17:14-19).”
