Tony Campolo - what love requires

Heard Tony Campolo speak at Chautauqua in July, 2013

• Love requires that you look into a person and not at a person
• The need to connect into the deep recesses of a person's life
• Story of Tony's praying for someone who ultimately died 
• The story of the inner transformation
• He wasn't cured but he was healed.
• When you enter into people's sufferings you are exhausted
• Eyeball to eyeball contact
• Love is about connecting with people deeply. So deeply that it is draining
• Story of Guy Doad, teacher - despised as a young boy, ridiculed by his classmates, uplifted by a teacher who said that he was a poet
• Jesus - I felt power to flow out of me
• There is an energy that flows from God through you to other people 
• Blessed are those who are poor and willingly become poor
• The story of Schlinder's list - I could be doing so much more
• Going door to door offering to pray with people
• The programs are already in place, but you have to go door to door to find the needy to connect them with the services
• I want you to become poor people materially, spiritually
• For these are my people says Jesus
