See how these Christians love one another.
The greatness of God is the true rebuke to the littleness of men. The greatness of Christ is the true rebuke to the littleness of Christians.
The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.
A great reformation and revival-it will happen the same way the early Christians conquered Rome. Their program of conquest consisted largely of two elements: gospel preaching and being eaten by lions, a strategy that has not yet captured the imagination of the the contemporary church.
Christians are not patched-up sinners, they are new creations.
Next to the wicked lives of men, nothing is so great a disparagement and weakening to religion as the divisions of Christians.
The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature.
I think there is an immense shortage of Christian charity among so-called Christians.
In our competitive world we're taught to never quit trying, never give up, and never give in - so we don't hear much about surrendering. If winning is everything, surrendering is unthinkable. Even Christians would rather talk about winning, succeeding, overcoming, and conquering than yielding, submitting, obeying, and surrendering. But surrendering to God is the heart of worship.
Men judge of Christians by taking as fair samples those that lie rotten on the ground.
There are no freelance Christians; there is no solo-flying to heaven.
As Christians, we're asked to give. In my sport, if someone needs equipment or help with something, regardless of who they are as a competitor, I'm called to help them for a higher purpose. So it definitely affects everything I do. It's not easy. It's very hard to love everyone.
As is the business of tailors to make clothes and cobblers to make shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray.
Praying Christians know nothing of their friends
Many of us Christians have become extremely skillful in arranging our lives so as to admit the truth of Christianity without being embarrassed by its implications. We arrange things so that we can get on well enough without divine aid, while at the same time ostensibly seeking it. We boast in the Lord but watch carefully that we never get caught depending on Him.
I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.
Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause. I had hoped that liberal and enlightened thought would have reconciled the Christians so that their [NOT our!] religious fights would not endanger the peace of Society.
And here is one choice that our Father wants us to understand as Christians – and I believe this is the choice of our age: Do we want to be brave or safe? Gently, lovingly, our heavenly Father wants us to know that we simply can’t be both.
The secular and religious Left find it convenient to demonize politically conservative Christians.
So many Christians seek to live the pain-free Christian life. Such a life has no impact.
