QUOTE - Tim Keller
“By depicting a Samaritan helping a Jew, Jesus could not have found a more forceful way to say that anyone at all in need - regardless of race, politics, class and religion - is your neighbour. Not everyone is your brother or sister in the faith, but everyone is your neighbour, and you must love your neighbour.”

QUOTE - Tim Keller
“Jesus was saying something like this: What if your only hope was to get ministry from someone who not only did not owe you any help - but who actually owed you the opposite. What if your only hope was to get free grace from someone who had every justification, based on your relationship to him, to trample you.”

QUOTE - Rosaria Butterfield
“Living out radically ordinary Christian hospitality means knowing that your relationship with others must be as strong as your words. The balance cannot tip here. Having strong words and a weak relationship with your neighbor is violent; it captures the violent carelessness of our social media-infused age. That is not how neighbors talk with each other. That is not how image bearers of the same God relate to each other. Radically ordinary hospitality values the time it takes to invest in relationships, to build bridges, to repent of sins of the past, to reconcile. Bridge building and remaking friendships cannot be rushed.
The word hospitality approximates the Greek word philoxenia, which means ‘love of the stranger’. Instead of being sidelined by the sucker punches of post-Christianity, Christians are called to practice radically ordinary hospitality to renew their resolve in Christ. Too many of us are sidelined by fears. We fear that people will hurt us. We fear that people will negatively influence our children. We fear that we do not understand the language of this new world order, least of all its people. We long for days gone by. Our sentimentality makes us stupid. We need to snap ourselves out of this self-pitying reverie. The best days are ahead. Jesus advances from the front of the line.”
