About This Quote
The words of Jim Wallis, "The only power God recognizes in His church is the power of His Spirit whereas the only power actually recognized today by the majority of evangelicals is the power of man.” The first thing that you should understand is that all men are not created equal. Some men possess more power than others and some possess less. This power is given to us by God. The church is made up of men who are able to exercise this power of God for good.
It’s unfortunate that many Christians don’t think highly enough of themselves to use the gifts he gave them to make a difference in the world around them. There are too many things that can be done with this power, but too few Christians are using it for good.
