Irresistible Revolution


Shane Claiborne, a founding member of the Simple Way in Philadelphia, is a prominent activist and speaker who writes about what it is like "living as an ordinary radical" in his book "The Irresistible Revolution." He believes in the message of the "gospel of abundance." He states in his book,


"So I would suggest we need a third way, neither the prosperity gospel nor the poverty gospel but the gospel of abundance rooted in a theology of enough."


The church as a whole does not need to commit to a gospel that only thrives on success or does not need to commit to a gospel that asks us to give everything away, but instead, a "theology of enough."


Something to think about....
