Christianity does not involve the belief that all things were made for man. it does involve the belief that god loves man and for his sake became man and died.
The Holy Spirit upon my left leads my feet without ceasing into the camp of the righteous and into the tents of the free.
It was the evidence from science and history that prompted me to abandon my atheism and become a Christian.
We don't ask any people to throw away any good they have got; we only ask them to come and get more. What if all the world should embrace this Gospel? They would then see eye to eye, and the blessings of God would be poured out upon the people, which is the desire of my whole soul.
While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life’s joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy.
We who were formerly no people at all, and who knew of no peace, are now called to be...a church...of peace. True Christians do not know vengeance. They are the children of peace. Their hearts overflow with peace. Their mouths speak peace, and they walk in the way of peace.
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
"God does not give us more than we can handle," I am told but I wonder if God doesn't overestimate me just a little. Or perhaps, and this is likely, I underestimate God.
Who delivered up Jesus to die? Not Judas, for money; not Pilate, for fear; not the Jews, for envy; - but the father, for love!
Christians were never meant to be normal. We’ve always been holy troublemakers, we’ve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of dimension that’s incompatible with the status quo; we do not accept the world as it is, but we insist on the world becoming the way that God wants it to be. And the Kingdom of God is different from the patterns of this world.
If you desire to please God with the decision you make and afterward it proves to be a mistake, it’s an error not an end.
Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.
The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not "What a lovely sermon!" but "I will do something."
I believe Satan exists for two reasons: first, the Bible says so, and second, I've done business with him.
God uses us in spite of who we are, not because of it.
I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults. But when I found that I knew not only that there was God but that I was a child of God, when I understood that, when I comprehended that, more than that, when I internalized that, ingested that, I became courageous.
It is true that Bible prayers in word and print are short, but the praying men of the Bible were with God through many a sweet and holy wrestling hour. They won by few words but long waiting.

After all, a crisis doesn't make a person; it reveals what a person is made of.
Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero.
God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.
It is futile for us to try to serve God without the power of the Holy Spirit. Talent, training, and experience cannot take the place of the power of the Spirit.
Sin is the most expensive thing in the universe. Nothing else can cost so much.
In our prayers, we talk to God, in our Bible study, God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.
