Maybe we are a little crazy. After all, we believe in things we don't see. The Scriptures say that faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb. 11:1). We believe poverty can end even though it is all around us. We believe in peace even though we hear only rumours of wars. And since we are people of expectation, we are so convinced that another world is coming that we start living as if it were already here. . Shane Claiborne
About This Quote

We believe in things we don't see. That is what makes us different. Our hope is that there is another world coming, not this one. We believe that the world can be changed for the better, not for the worse.

We know there are problems in our society and in our country, but we also believe that God has something good planned for us. There is an energy working in our lives, an energy that is drawing us to a place of hope and good times. God has given us the gift of hope, and with it we know He will never give up on America or anyone else.
