Join The Underlines // The Best Of What I Read
A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
Do not turn away from someone in need, but instead, share everything you have, not claiming anything as your own because if you can share what will perish, how much more will you share what is imperishable!
The Didache
R. Joseph Owles
Institutions are our beliefs and ethics enfleshed. They bring ideas down from the ether and ensure that they are operating within the actual life of a community. They are creedal in nature.
Disappearing Church
Mark Sayers
Ever since returning from China, I’ve had an abiding interest in asking this question: “How is it that the West can be re-evangelized?”4 One of the reasons I’m so compelled by the life of habit is that I see habits as a way of light in an age of darkness. Cultivating a life of transcendent habits means that our ordinary ways of living should stand out in our culture, dancing like candles on a dark mantle. As Madeleine L’Engle once wrote, “We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe . . . but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”5
