If all the Christians- I mean all of 'em- got outta the pews on Sundays and into the streets, we'd shut the city down. We'd shut down hunger. We'd shut down loneliness. We'd shut down the notion that there is any such of a thing as a person that don't deserve a kind word and a second chance. Ron Hall
About This Quote

If all of the Christians got out of their pews on Sundays and into the streets, we would shut down hunger. We would shut down loneliness. We would shut down the notion that there is any such of a thing as a person that don't deserve a kind word and a second chance. When you see people suffering in poverty, suffering in disease or suffering in war, you can make a difference by simply speaking kindly to them. Being kind to the suffering is what makes us human.
