Culture Making

Here is a quote for your reading pleasure from I book I am finishing up called Culture Making by Andy Crouch.

"The lesson of both exodus and resurrection is that the powerless are never as powerless as they seem. Perhaps that is the truest sense of the 'good news to the poor' that Jesus came to proclaim: the poor are not as poor as they, and we, think they are. The creative God of history has made his resurrection power available to them. He has made his power available to us if we will become poor in spirit- no longer simply accumulating power but freely sharing it."
