Clarence Jordan: a quotable

inward /outward

He said that you don’t know whether it will work or not. Why don’t you break off a few chunks of life and try? You experiment with everything else. Break off a few years – a chunk – of your life, and give it in this bold experiment and see what happens.

Clarence is one of my all time favs.  In fact, I just bought a bunch of CD’s with his talks on them just before Christmas (some of it was for my Dad ,  but I got a few for myself and turned them into MP3 for the player so I could take him with meon the drive into work).  “Break off a chunk”  is vintage Jordan.  “Bust open that parable for us” he translated the disciple’s questions.  Jordan spoke often of “The God Movement” and how the “Kingdom” is a Revolution and a Liberation.

The above quote is from a piece quoted on inward/outward,  which I’ve been watching as it goes up (and hopefully soon,  I’ll have the opportunity to talk to its admin/builder about some of the plans and features of inward/outward before he up and moves to California).  It seems that several people are already watching.
