Quote of the Week – Bill Kinnon on Christian Consumerism

“If you insist on bragging about your church, don’t tell us about the numbers. Tell us about how the Kingdom has come to your community. Tell us of the lame who walk, the blind who see, the debts that have been forgiven, the reconciliation that has taken place at personal, generational & racial levels, how the poor and the outcast are loved and taken care of, how widows and orphans are grafted into the church family, how your community is experiencing the Year of Jubilee – because of what the Spirit is doing in and through your church.

But if all you can talk about are your numbers, then, please…

…just shut up. It’s long past old.”

- Bill Kinnon (from his post, “What We Win Them With is What We Win Them To“)
