The Church is Neither Left or Right | Having Two Legs

Francis Shaeffer said, Christian may be at times, ‘cobelligerents’ with the Left or the Right, but never allies. ‘If there is social injustice, say there is social injustice. If we need order, say we need order… But do not align yourself as though you are in either of these camps: You are an ally of neither. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is different from either — totally different.’

-Tim Keller, Ministries of Mercy, 26.

    I love this! this is so true! but sad to say that the inconsistent folks do not stay consistent neither do christians, but to be aligned with Christ is the most radical and he loves radically and as light exposes darkness this is the true disclosure of social injustice, and those who differ have a blind eye to it.
