One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. - Martin Luther King Jr.

There are many signs that the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. Unless the early sacrificial spirit is recaptured, I am very much afraid that today's Christian church will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and we will see the Christian church dismissed as a social club with no meaning or effectiveness for our time, as a form without substance, as salt without savor. The real tragedy, though, is not Martin Luther King's disillusionment with the church -- for I am sustained by its spiritual blessings as a minister of the gospel with a lifelong commitment: The tragedy is that in my travels, I meet young people of all races whose disenchantment with the church has soured into outright disgust.

A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
