Some quotes, compiled from various locations

"There is no way for you to have too much trust in so good and so faithful a friend as Jesus Christ…" – Br. Lawrence

From Rob Bell's "Velvet Elvis" (I think):
"A church is a community of people who are learning how to be certain kinds of people wherever they find themselves, so they can do whatever it is they do 'in the name of the Lord Jesus.' The goal isn't to bring everyone's work into the church; the goal is for the church to be these unique kinds of people who are transforming the places they live and work and play because they understand the whole earth is filled with the kavod of God." (p.85)

"Missions then is less about the transportation of God from one place to another and more about the identification of a God who is already there." (p.87)
