“Although the rights of Christian citizenship are incredible, the cost of obtaining them is absolute.”
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
“Being absolutely clear on Christ’s lordship as our primary allegiance and our heavenly citizenship as our core identity is the starting point for a right ordering of our relationships, attachments, and desires in all areas of life, including our posture toward contemporary society.”
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
“Our willingness to maintain our allegiance to Christ is fundamentally challenged in the context of exile. The feeling of being captive aliens, trapped in a culture that is rejecting our values, generates fear that we don’t belong, that our identity is being overwhelmed, and that we will be rejected if we don’t fit in.”
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
“Are we angry at the persecution and suffering we’ve experienced because of our faithful witness to Christ (in which case, we need to forgive)? Or are we resenting the loss of influence and status that the cultural Christianity of the recent past has afforded us (in which case, we need to repent)?”
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
― Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-Christian World
“We don’t have to fit in or form community because we will soon be leaving. As long as it doesn’t personally impact us, we are not concerned with understanding the cultural story or social, political, and economic life of our neighbors. Ultimately, this “just visiting” mentality has allowed Christians to avoid their calling. In the “just visiting” mentality, we focus on texts that tell us our citizenship is in heaven, that we are not “of this world,” but conveniently forget the requirements of that citizenship—namely, to be God’s representatives for and in the world.”
