Christian Quotes
-
There is no wild beast so ferocious as Christians who differ concerning their faith.
William Edward Hartpole Lecky
-
As a Christian, we always fail because we can't become Christ. But I can try to at least emulate the best qualities, even if I may fall short.
Kelsey Grammer
-
Do you call yourselves Christians? Does then the religion of Him whom you call your Savior inspire your spirit, and guide your practices? Surely not. It is recorded of him that a bruised reed he never broke. Cease, then, to call yourselves Christians, lest you declare to the world your hypocrisy. Cease, too, to call other nations savage, when you are tenfold more the children of cruelty than they.
Joseph Brant
-
Determined secularists view these as residual inconsistencies that they have not yet go around to extirpating and that may not be worth bothering about... Form the secularist perspective it may be that the essential battles have been won and excessive zeal in pressing a final mopping-up operation might only excited further public hostility.
Richard John Neuhaus
-
In an age of abstract experience, fornication Is self-expression, adjunct to Christian euphoria, And whores become delinquents; delinquents, patients; Patients, wards of society. Whores, by that rule, Are precious.
Allen Tate

We have no writings from them, or writings of any kind, in fact, from the first two decades of the Christian movement.
Bart Ehrman
-
Outside of Paul’s work itself, we do not know of any organized Christian missionary work—not just for the first century, but for any century prior to the conversion of most of the empire.
As MacMullen has succinctly put it: “After Saint Paul, the Church had no mission.”
That may be hard to believe, but in fact, if you were to count every Christian missionary about whom even a single story is told, from the period after the New Testament up through the first four centuries, you would not need all the digits on one hand.
We are not talking about armies of volunteers knocking on doors. We know of three, all in a different isolated region.
And, as we will see, even the stories told of them are highly legendary.
Bart Ehrman
-
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.
C. S. Lewis
-
The Founders never intended to separate Christianity from government, only to keep a single denomination from running the nation.
David Barton

I ... am endeavoring ... to attend to my own duty only as a Christian. ... let us take care that our Christianity, though put to the test ... be not shaken, and that our love for things really good wax not cold.
William Samuel Johnson
-
We have to train ourselves to use words accurately. And there's so much loose Christian talk, for which I've no doubt been as guilty as any.
N. T. Wright
-
The Christian marginality of women has its roots in the patriarchal beginnings of the church and in the androcentrism of Christian revelation.
Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza
-
Trusting God means thinking and acting according to God's word in spite of circumstances, feelings, or consequences.
Warren W. Wiersbe
-
For me, I go in and play a few Christian songs for an audience, and now I have people come up and not tell me I'm great, but tell me that my music is helping save their lives, helping them in the Lord, and helping them end their vices.
Rick Derringer
-
As a good Christian should consider every place as holy, because God is there, so he should look upon every part of his life as a matter of holiness, because it is offered unto God. The profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter. But worldly business is to be made holy unto the Lord, by being done as a service unto Him, and in conformity to His Divine will.
William Law
-
Most Christians are being crucified on a cross between two thieves: Yesterday's regret and tomorrow's worries.
Warren W. Wiersbe
