Brian McLaren: The Politics of Joy


Another great post by Brian McLaren.

I was particularly impressed with this statement, "The way "earth receives her king" (and the blessings he brings) is not by bombs and guns and wiretaps and coups; not by aggressive blog postings or passionate media pronouncements by pundits. Rather, the king (and the kingdom) come first to the quiet hearts of humble people who "prepare him room," and the joy flows to the world through them."

I just started reading Barack Obama's book , and I see some of the same sentiments in his thought process. I will let you know more when I finish reading it.
