Quotes by Miguel A. de la Torre (?)

“God's self-revelation to humanity does not occur from the centers of world power but in the margins of society.”

“Could it be that the Jesus who supports “the American way” is in reality an anti-Christ?”

“More than likely these sermons never touched on economic justice; rather, emphasis was placed on learning how to live a more joyous life in Christ or walk closer with Jesus or even how to faithfully tithe. When we think that the main message of the biblical prophets usually revolved around the theme of economic justice, or that Jesus spoke more about money than any other topic, we are left dumbfounded as to why churches within prosperous nations like the United States, who claim to be Bible-believing disciples of Jesus, seldom broach one of the main themes (if not the main theme) of the biblical text.”
