Peter Marshall may refer to:
Godly enthusiasm is not a fire of our own kindling. . . If a man, however, has caught fire, let me not quench the Spirit by dampening the ardor of his pure devotion. Enthusiasm is not contrary to reason; it is reason - on fire.
When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.
No tabloid will ever print the startling news that the mummified body of Jesus of Nazareth has been discovered in old Jerusalem. Christians have no carefully embalmed body enclosed in a glass case to worship. Thank God, we have an empty tomb. The glorious fact that the empty tomb proclaims to us is that life for us does not stop when death comes. Death is not a wall, but a door.
Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with.
Anarchism as a political philosophy seeks to dissolve all forms of authority and power, and if possible, wishes their complete abolition.
The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration.
In the name of Jesus Christ, who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast. With all of eternity before us, make us take time to live---time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessings, and time to know each other.
We pray Thee, O Christ, to keep us under the spell of immortality. My we never again think and act as if Thou were dead. Let us more and more come to know Thee as a living Lord who hath promised to them that believe: "Because I live, ye shall live also. " Help us to remember that we are praying to the Conqueror of Death, that we may no longer be afraid nor dismayed by the world's problems and threats, since Thou hast overcome the world. In Thy strong name, we ask for Thy living presence and Thy victorious power. Amen.
Christianity is a power religion. Christ has the power to re-create men from the inside out, as every man who has ever met Him knows.
If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come to you.
Unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
Most of us know perfectly well what we ought to do; our trouble is that we do not want to do it.
The proof of how real Jesus knew hell to be is that He came to earth to save us from it.
May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.
Above all, we should question the consumer ethic, which uses up non-renewable resources, creates inequality and injustice, generates pollution, destroys other species and upsets the balance of nature. The consumer ethic not only defiles the environment by creating undesirable change in the biosphere but also corrupts the mind and body by defining pleasure in terms of ownership and absorption. Waste itself is a human concept; everything in nature is eventually used. If human beings carry on in their present ways, they will one day be recycled along with the dinosaurs.
Enthusiasm is not contrary to reason; it is reason - on fire.
Get off, you look ugly (to a blood splattered player during a game)
Whatever its future success as a historical movement, anarchism will remain a fundamental part of human experience, for the drive for freedom is one of our deepest needs and the vision of a free society is one of our oldest dreams. Neither can ever be fully repressed; both will outlive all rulers and their States.
The resurrection never becomes a fact of experience until the risen Lord lives in the heart of the believer.
