“It's a cultural disability in America that we worship pleasure, leisure, and affluence. I think the church is doubly damned when they use Jesus as a vehicle for achieving all of that. Like, if you give a tithe, He'll make you rich. Why? Are you hacking Him off or something? If you give a tithe, you get rid of ten percent of the root of all evil. You should be giving ninety percent. Cause God can handle money better than we can.” IfsThinkingGivingShouldUseAmericaEvilJesusCausesChurchPleasureRichAchieveTenWorshipPercentRootsGreedHandleMaterialismDisabilityLeisureVehicleNinetyAvariceAffluenceHackingTithe Author:Rich Mullins
“Truth is, most of us contain a splashing, giggling, squealing child who knows without thinking that bare skin and water go together as wings go with air, roots with earth, and the phoenix with incendiary sun. And innocence belongs to us as it did to ancient Greek athletes, who never wore clothes for their footraces or boxing matches but rather oiled themselves until their nude bodies glistened in the sunlight.” ThinkingKnowsChildrenBodyEarthTogetherWaterSunAirTruth IsClothesRootsSkinsWingsAncientAthleteInnocenceGreekBoxingClothingsSunlightPhoenixAncient GreekBoxing MatchesSplashingSquealingBare Skin Author:Janet Lembke
