There are 2,000 verses of Scripture that tell us we must be committed to protecting the poor and the oppressed... There is no concern of Scripture that is addressed so often and so powerfully as reaching out to the poor. - Tony Campolo

“I think that if this country goes down, it will not be because of the enemies that are outside this country. I think that if this country goes down, it’s because those within the country undercut our basic rights, undercut the principles that gave birth to this institution.” #TonyCampolo

We lost a #Baptist this week but when he was with us, oh, did our hearts burn.

Yesterday Tony Campolo passed away at 89. I met him in my 20s. Amazing Jesus follower.
This story is one of my favorites.
Go ahead. Call me a Red Letter Christian if this is what it means.

The world lost a giant yesterday. #TonyCampolo passed on to his eternal reward. Tony was a Christian sociologist with a huge heart for everyone. Take time to read "The Kingdom of God is a Party" . PTHM Power /Peace to His Memory.

“Putting religion & politics together is like mixing ice cream w horse manure. It doesn’t hurt the horse manure; it ruins the ice cream. And I think that this merger of church & state has done great harm to religion.” #TonyCampolo
The body of Christ has been left w a vacancy only God can fill.

Regardless, I owe him a great debt for how God used him in my own life and faith. I will forever be grateful for his witness in this world.

These were the words I heard #TonyCampolo speak back in 2005. There were honest, pointed, and convicting. He caught us all with our hands in that cookie jar with this statement.

Oh yeah, #TonyCampolo also capped his family income to $50k (just enough to meet their needs) and gave the rest of his income away to the poor – his book deals, his speaking gigs, his professor salary, etc. He literally embodied what he preached.

#TonyCampolo has died. He came on my television show several times and was always so inspiring - wonderful man, wonderful Christian. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

This pic is from when I got the opportunity to interview #TonyCampolo in 2014. It was an honor and I’m thankful for the moment to meet one of my heroes who inspired me to be who I am today.
Rest in peace, good and faithful servant. Fin.

For whtevr some of his missteps, #TonyCampolo paved the way for many of us to deconstruct wht big church evangelicalism was striving for. Whn mega churches were building their evangelical bowling alley cathedrals, Tony challenged us tht Jesus’ teachings were advocate for the poor & least of these 1/

When I was in middle school & high school, I greedily read Tony Campolo’s books alone in my room for hours. It felt like holding Jesus’ hand and holding contraband for me all at the same time, because I recognized the Sinai fire I grew up on in the Pentecostal church… #tonycampolo

When I was deep in Evangelical circles, we were taught to distrust "leftists" like Tony Campolo and his elk, because they were heretics. All the effort spent on hate when we could have loved people like Tony. #tonycampolo #everyonealways
