If we believe that terrorists are beyond redemption we can rip out half of our New Testament because it was written by a converted terrorist who became an extremist for grace.Shane Claiborne
I heard this quote during a message by Shane Claiborne and it really challenged my thinking. Sure we are fighting a war on terrorism (and I believe rightfully so) and it is easy to just view terrorists as enemies, but they are people Jesus loves and died for. It should have occurred to me years ago to pray for them and not just our safety from them, but it didn't so I'll begin that now.
