Reconciling A Reconciliation Quotes & Sayings

there is a widespread notion in some of the most energetic contemporary Christian movements that the biblical call to reconciliation is solely about reconciling God and humanity, with no reference to social realities. In this view, preaching, teaching, church life and mission are only about a personal relationship between people and God. Christian energy is focused on winning converts, planting and growing churches, and evangelistic efforts.

For them, Christianity is exclusively about personal piety and morals. — Chris Rice
