If we profess that “it is in Christ and through his blood that we have been redeemed and our sins forgiven,” then perhaps our lives could be lived a little more simply, a little less ambiguously.
John J. Pilch
Jesus’ advice to “shake off the dust on your feet as a testimony against those who would not extend hospitality” is a major insult.
He commanded them to take nothing with them, neither bag, nor money, not bread, so as to teach them to despise riches.
Dennis
Hamm, SJ
Who in their right mind would travel the rocky and bandit-ridden roads of first-century Palestine barefoot, shekel-less, and without bread or a staff for self-defense?
Reginald H. Fuller
Amos was not a card-carrying member of the prophetic guild; he was
an outsider whom God had called to denounce the government for its
injustices and inhuman policies.
