Donald Miller Quotes

The Real Issue In The Christian Community Was That It Was Conditional. You Were Loved, But If You Had Questions, Questions About Whether The Bible Was True Or Whether America Was A Good Country Or Whether Last Week's Sermon Was Good, You Were Not So Loved. You Were Loved In Word, But There Was, Without Question, A Social Commodity That Was Being Withheld From You Until You Shaped Up. By Toeing The Party Line You Earned Social Dollars; By Being Yourself You Did Not. If You Wanted To Be Valued, You Became A Clone. These Are Broad Generalizations, And They Are Unfair, But This Is What I Was Thinking At The Time.
