Sacrifice is a word a power-hungry church just doesn't understand. A church that cares about power--the power of a large membership, power in the world, political power, television power or persuasive opinion power--doesn't know the principle of sacrifice. [Far too many Christians] have neglected and even repudiated the example of Jesus Christ, who eschewed coercion in favor of quiet persuasion and whose method of acting was his willingness to die for those who would not die ... [When Christianity seeks to] arrogate power to enforce its righteous principles upon the whole world, it is in no way dying. This is in no way sacrifice.
