An excerpt from Sojourners that is a must read:

“After a brief reflection, the church said to Jesus, we’ve done a small portion of all of these things, what do we still lack?
Jesus pleadingly looked at the church and said, if you would be perfect, go, sell all you possess and give to the poor, sacrifice all of your power and give to the weak, exchange all of your control and give to the helpless, forfeit all of your privilege and give it to the downtrodden, abandon all of your popularity and bestow it upon the helpless, and when you do all of this then you will have treasure in heaven, so now come, and follow me!”
