"We've got to know that what Jesus is talking about, first and foremost, is how do you enter into the real now. Jesus gives us real eyes to realize where the Real lies.".
Pg 39
"Remember this: There are always two worlds. The world as it operates is power; the world as it should be is love. The secret of Kingdom life is how can you live in both - simultaneaously. The world as it is will always be built on power, ego and success. Yet we also must keep our eyes intently on the world as it should be- what Jesus calls the Reign of God. Power apart from love leads to brutality; but love that does not engage with power is mere sentimentality. A lot of Christians today are still trapped in one or the other."
Pg 41
