The men of the East may spell the stars, And times and triumphs mark, But the men signed of the cross of Christ Go gaily in the dark. - Gilbert K Chesterton The men signed of the cross of Christ go gaily in the dark. - Gilbert K Chesterton If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way not in a human way that ignores God. - Oswald Chambers

A short distance away is the Tidal Basin, ringed by cherry trees that every year produce flowers, an event to which Washingtonians react as though it were the Second Coming of Christ. - Dave Barry Justification is the means whereby we appropriate the saving act of God in the past, and sanctification the promise of God's activity in the present and future...Justification is primarily concerned with the relation between man and the law of God, sanctification with the Christian's separation from the world until the second coming of Christ...Justification is the new creation of the new man, and sanctification is his preservation until the day of Jesus Christ. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer Kitten, you still haven't told her? Blimey, what are you waiting for?" "The Second Coming of Christ!" I snapped. - Jeaniene Frost If we were to do the Second Coming of Christ in color for a full hour, there would be a considerable number of stations which would decline to carry it o...

The medieval Church believed that the resurrection of Christ marked a new time for all of humanity. - Timothy Radcliffe Indeed taking all the evidence together, it is not too much to say that there is no single historic incident better or more variously supported than the Resurrection of Christ. Nothing but the antecedent assumption that it must be false could have suggested the idea of deficiency in the proof of it. - Brooke Foss Westcott

Life will be a whole lot better if we understand what our salvation in Christ means. - Jaachynma N E Agu Remind me," he paused, drawing in a stuttered gasp, "to never piss you off again. Christ, are you secretly a ninja? - Jennifer L Armentrout Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you. - Steve Maraboli In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. - Friedrich Nietzsche The teaching of Colossians 2:3-8 is unambiguous. ALL knowledge (note: not simply knowledge of "religious" matters is to be found in Christ. - Greg L Bahnsen I believe as a born-again Christian that once you've had a chance to drink from the well, it becomes your responsibility to replenish the well. - Daniel Baldwin What is happening within Christianity is that it doesn't know it needs t...

My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But following Christ does not mean following His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become. - Anne Rice The astonishing paradox of Christ's teaching and of Christian experience is this: if we lose ourselves in following Christ, we actually find ourselves. True self-denial is self-discovery. To live for ourselves is insanity and suicide; to live for God and for man is wisdom and life indeed. We do not begin to find ourselves until we have become willing to lose ourselves in the service of Christ and of our fellows. - John Stott Chum was a British boy's weekly which, at the end of the year was bound into a single huge book; and the following Christmas parents bo...

The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer Discipling our children is not about teaching them to behave in a way that won't embarrass us. We're working toward something much more important than that. We're actually raising our children with a view toward leading them to trust and to follow Christ. - Voddie T Baucham Jr Don't follow a defeated foe. Follow Christ. It is costly. You will be an exile in this age. But you will be free. - John Piper

You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way not in a human way that ignores God. - Oswald Chambers I know that many of you do wear such a cross of Christ, not in any ostentatious way, not in a way that might harm you at your work or recreation, but a simple indication that you value the role of Jesus Christ in the history of the world, that you are trying to live ...

We should so work as if we were to be saved by our works; and so rely on Jesus Christ, as if we did no works. - Francis Asbury When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart. - George W Bush Billy Graham is one of my great lifetime heroes. I think he epitomizes the essence of what a Christian leader should be. I have participated in some of his crusades a couple of times in Atlanta. I've seen the profound impact he's had on me personally, and on other people who were not Christians and accepted Christ as Savior. - Jimmy Carter I see Christ as the incarnation of the piper who is calling us. He dances that shape and pattern which is at the heart of our reality. - Sydney Carter In the first place, our faith ought to lay hold on Christ as God and man in that nature by which He has been made our neighbor, kinsman, and brother. - Martin Chemnitz The Lord Jesus will be revealed mightily, and will make bare his h...
