“Christ consistently used the expression ‘follower.’ He never asks for admirers, worshippers, or adherents. No, he calls disciples. It is not adherents of a teaching but followers of a life Christ is looking for.” —Søren Kierkegaard plough.com/en/topics/cult…

“One of the most important things we as Christians can do for the world is to lead interesting lives. Unfortunately, we have become far too predictable. We’re too invested in the status quo. We desperately need to learn what it means to live interesting lives, because otherwise, no one will ever be drawn into the church – God’s new society.” —Stanley Hauerwas plough.com/en/topics/just…

Dalam diakonia biru, "wacana teologis eko-diakonia...memastikan bahwa alam mengekspresikan hakikatnya sebagai sumber pangan, dan bahwa orang miskin memiliki akses terhadap pangan tersebut secara berkelanjutan.” -@eliamaggang id.christianitytoday.com/2024/06/indone…
