The New Testament preaches a Christ who was dead and is alive, not a Christ who was alive and is dead.
Dear young people, Christ asks you to be wide awake and alert, to see the things in life that really matter.
Just in proportion as a man becomes good, divine, Christ-like, he passes out of the region of theorizing, of system-building, and hireling service, into the region of beneficent activities. It is well to think well. It is divine to act well.
Christ is the great central fact in the world's history. To Him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon Him.
A Christian is one who is invited. . . to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!
The true confidence which is faith in Christ, and the true diffidence which is utter distrust of myself--are identical.

I don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike Christ.

I was a full-time pastor and a part-time follower of Christ.
But I bear witness to Christ, too. I really know him to be the savior of the world. And that means more to me than almost anything else I know.
The Church is the body of Christ fashioned by baptism & the Eucharist.
Don't put labels on people. See them as people who Christ died for.
By trusting Christ's redemptive work for us, we can enter into what we long for: the happiness found only in God.
From Christ on down to Edison, the men who have achieved most have been those who met with the most stubborn forms of temporary defeat. This would seem to justify the conclusion that Infinite Intelligence has a plan, or a law, by which it hurdles men over many obstacles before giving them the privilege of leadership or the opportunity to render useful service in a noteworthy fashion.
If we are immortal, it is a fact of nature, and that fact does not depend on bibles, on Christs, priest, or creeds.
