"I’ve spent too much time inside a church for my own needs and I’ve spent far too little time being the church for someone else’s. God doesn’t ask us to confine ourselves to out Christian bubbles or holy huddles, and Jesus didn’t show us how to be a comfy pewwarmer or a bunch of lazy pew-potatoes. God gave us life, which is an adventure to be lived, a time to make a difference, and hopefully becomes a legacy of love to be left for others. Jesus died to show us how we should love God and how we should love others. Jesus showed us how to find life, live life, love life, and also how we could add to, contribute, change, save, or even lay our own lives down for the life of another."Justin Wren, author or Fight for the Forgotten
