Christianity
 		  

 

  • Authentic Christianity never destroys what is good. It makes it grow, transfigures it, and enriches itself from it.--Claire Huchet Bishop

     

  • The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.--G. K. Chesterton

     

  • Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.--Phillips Brooks

     

  • Could we with ink the ocean fill,
    And were the skies of parchment made,
    Were every stalk on earth a quill,
    And every man a scribe by trade,
    To write the love of God above,
    Would drain the oceans dry.
    Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
    Though stretched from sky to sky.--F. M. Lehman ("The Love of God" [hymn])

     

  • Despite our efforts to keep him out, God intrudes. The life of Jesus is bracketed by two impossibilities: a virgin's womb and an empty tomb. Jesus entered our world through a door marked, "No Entrance" and left through a door marked "No Exit."--Peter Larson (Prism Jan/Feb 2001)

     

  • The distinction between Christianity and all other systems of religion consists largely in this, that in these others, men are found seeking after God, while Christianity is God seeking after men.--Thomas Arnold

     

  • Do not seek God
    in outer space--
    Your heart is the only place
    in which to meet Him
    face to face.--Angelus Silesius

     

  • Does being born into a Christian family make one a Christian? No! God has no grandchildren.--Corrie ten Boom (Each New Day)

     

  • The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.--William Blake ("To the Deists" Jerusalem)

     

  • The God I believe in is not so fragile that you hurt Him by being angry at him, or so petty that He will hold it against you for being upset with Him.--Rabbi Harold Kushner

     

  • God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.--Rabbi Harold Kushner

     

  • God is not nearly as concerned with our getting what we want as He is with our getting him.--George Myers

     

  • God within us is communicating with God above us, and we know that this communication is pure and powerful.--Judson Cornwall (Praying the Scriptures)

     

  • I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.--Bishop Desmond Tutu (interview, Worldview, Dec. 1984)

     

  • I doubt if there is in the world a single problem, whether social, political, or economic, which would not find ready solution if men and nations would rule their lives according to the plain teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.--Franklin D. Roosevelt (in The Age of Roosevelt, by Schlesinger) 

     

  • I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.--Mother Teresa

     

  • I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.--Albert Camus

     

  • If you begin to live life looking for the God that is all around you, every moment becomes a prayer.--Frank Bianco

     

  • Let nothing disturb thee;
    Let nothing dismay thee;
    All thing pass;
    God never changes
    Patience attains
    All that it strives for.
    He who has God
    Finds he lacks nothing:
    God alone suffices.--Saint Teresa of Avila (Prayer)

     

  • Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.--George Macdonald

     

  • Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it--almost none. And when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity as by one who practices it.--Peace Pilgrim

     

  • No Christian can be a pessimist, for Christianity is a system of radical optimism.--William R. Inge (Manchester Guardian, Feb. 27, 1954)

     

  • The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life.--James L. Christensen

     

  • True Christianity is love in action.--David O. McKay

     

  • We receive His peace when we ask Him for it. We keep His peace by extending it to others. Those are the keys and there are no others.--Marianne Williamson

     

  • A wise person truly said, "It ought to be as impossible to forget that there is a Christian in the house as it is to forget that there is a ten-year-old boy in it."--Roger J. Squire (Church Management)

     

  • Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.--Mother Theresa

     

  • The world is equally shocked at hearing Christianity critized and seeing it practiced.--D. Elton Trueblood

     

  • You must live with people to know their problems, and live with God in order to solve them.--P.T. Forsyth
