I
believe in justice, but I am not a preacher of the gospel of justice; I am a
preacher of the Gospel of Christ who calls us to justice.
I
believe in love, but I am not a preacher of the gospel of love; I am a preacher
of the Gospel of Christ who calls us to love.
I
am committed to peace, but I am not a preacher of the gospel of peace; I am a
preacher of the Gospel of Christ who calls us to peace.
I
believe in the value of the simple life, but I am not a preacher of the simple
life; I am a preacher of the Gospel of Christ that calls us to the simple life…
Let
us beware of the ultimate plagiarism of borrowing great concepts from Jesus;
then running off proclaiming these concepts and not sharing the Christ that
empowers these concepts.

Mennonite theologian
