Roaring Lambs Quotes

“When Christians criticize, carp, and complain but offer no alternatives, the world rolls its eyes, snickers, and moves on. It is really only when we offer a 'more excellent way' that we command or deserve much attention.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“We need to show the world in powerful, positive ways that artists devoted to God and to building His kingdom do not work with a cloudy lens or a drab palette, but, on the contrary, they see the world more clearly and colorfully because of His power in their lives.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“In my circles, Christians are thought of as people who are against things. I want us to be known as people who are for things good, wholesome, creative, wonderful, and fulfilling. That's the message of the Gospel and it ought to be the message in all that we do.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“Remember, our job as Christians is not primarily to protest, but to proclaim.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“In many ways, the cause of Christ is hurt most, not when it is vigorously denounced and fought against, but when it is laughed at and not taken seriously.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“What I'm calling for is a radically different way of thinking about our world. Instead of running from it, we need to rush into it. And instead of just hanging around the fringes of our culture, we need to be right smack dab in the middle of it.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“Again, to speak out for what is true and right requires more than just railing against evil. The call is for rational, cogent, well-crafted presentations of positive alternatives gleaned from Scriptures.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“Don't get me wrong. There are times when following the call of God demands that we speak out loudly against flagrant evil. But if that's all we do, particularly if most of our speaking out is only to each other, we are not being salt. The way to be salt is to replace evil with good, not just to sound off against the evil.”
― Bob Briner, Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World

“Sitting in the pews wringing our hands about decay in the world is not being salt. Neither is decrying the evil without offering positive alternatives.”
