I think he'd be assumed by your comment - what other "perspective" that the Word and Way of Jesus would Shane preach?? :)

One of the reassuring things about this guy is how consistent and clear his intent is whether he's giving a sermon, interview or engaged in dialogue, in a world full of distractions.

Whenever I have a bad day I listen to Shane on YouTube and feel better every time....

The story Shane tells here about the occupation of the church by the poor is so relevant to what is currently going on at St Paul's Cathedral in London, over the cathedral's decision to take action against the 99% protest camp on its grounds. Revd Giles Fraser's courageous and self-sacrificing resignation as canon of St Paul's Cathedral two days ago, because of his opposition to a police eviction, is totally in tune with what Shane is saying here. I wonder if they know about each other?

@TheWindowIsTranspare Remember the believers sharing what they had between them? God commanding us to protect the widowed, orphaned, & oppressed? Paul boasting in Christ, not himself?

God said to spread the good news of His kingdom - He chose us as the messengers. But we are only able if we read His revelations word, ask His advice, follow His example. Remember Jesus healing in the Fathers' name? The Apostles healing in Jesus'?

Perhaps we should leave sarcasm for God's rebuking of selfishness?

@Xpedite I concur. However, most people haven't read his books or heard him speak, and for that reason, I think these stories (which I myself have heard repeatedly) are life-changing for most people, just as they were for me the first time I heard them.

God has put together man and woman, not man, and flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone. Single or together serve Christ.
