Christian Quotes
-
The only way the corporate Body of Christ will fulfill the mission Christ has given it is for individual Christians to have a vision for fulfilling that mission personally.
David Jeremiah
-
The adventure of the Christian life begins when we dare to do what we would never tackle without Christ.
William Penn
-
Unfortunately, during the course of 2,000 years of Christian history, this symbol of salvation has been detached from any reference to the ongoing suffering and oppression of human beings—those whom Ignacio Ellacuría, the Salvadoran martyr, called “the crucified peoples of history.” The cross has been transformed into a harmless, non-offensive ornament that Christians wear around their necks. Rather than reminding us of the “cost of discipleship,” it has become a form of “cheap grace,”[3] an easy way to salvation that doesn’t force us to confront the power of Christ’s message and mission. Until we can see the cross and the lynching tree together, until we can identify Christ with a “recrucified” black body hanging from a lynching tree, there can be no genuine understanding of Christian identity in America, and no deliverance from the brutal legacy of slavery and white supremacy.
James Hal Cone
-
If you're a Christian you don't sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing, if they're happy and they're committed in a relationship.
Howard Stern
-
If we can implant in our people the Christian virtues which we sum up in the word character, and, at the same time, give them a knowledge of the line which should be drawn between voluntary action and governmental compulsion in a democracy, and of what can be accomplished within the stern laws of economics, we will enable them to retain their freedom, and at the same time, make them worthy to be free.
Winthrop W. Aldrich
-
There's a lot of America that's Christian. I would not describe us, though, on the whole, as a Christian nation.
John Edwards
-
Each person is responsible only for his or her own sins. Even the Christian doctrine of 'original sin' does not mean that humans are punished for the sin of the first human pair but, rather, that humans seem inevitably to copy the sin of the first human pair.
David Novak
-
Since it is visual art, you know, you’re drawing from everything. But I tend to draw from what I read not from a visual thing. Most of my stuff comes from historical things that I read that are kind of obscure and that people don’t know much about, like the formation of the Christian church, stuff like that.
Barron Claiborne
-
The Founders intended only to prevent the establishment of a single national denomination, not to restrain public religious expressions.
David Barton
-
On Halloween, witches come true; Wild ghosts escape from dreams. Each monster dances in the park.
Nick Gordon
-
God, to prevent all escape, hath sown the seeds of death in our very constitution and nature, so that we can as soon run from ourselves, as run from death. We need no feller to come with a hand of violence and hew us down; there is in the tree a worm, which grows out of its own substance, that will destroy it; so in us, those infirmities of nature that will bring us down to the dust.
William Gurnall
-
There are other kinds of joy found in other places in the world, but there is no place where you can find Christian joy except in Christ.
David Jeremiah
