Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179 Seducers we, they say; but they lead men astray. Oh, what a noble seduction ours, that men should change from dissolute to sober living -- or towards it; to justice from injustice -- or tending that way; to wisdom from being foolish -- or becoming such; and from cowardice, meanness and timidity, show courage and fortitude, not least in this struggle for the sake of our religion. (Quote by - Origen)

When Christian kids and those with traditional viewpoints were expressing their views they were being silenced all over the country. We hear a lot about tolerance these days, but what we're seeing more and more is an outright hostility toward people of particular faiths, mostly Christianity. (Quote by - Mike Johnson)

It's part of the buzz of the city among Christians. It wouldn't surprise me that it got to George Bush. He reads, he picks stuff up, he talks to people. And he's pretty serious about his own Christian beliefs. (Quote by - Charles W. Colson)

People in general are equally horrified at hearing the Christian religion doubted, and at seeing it practised. (Quote by - Samuel Butler)

A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better. (Quote by - Henry Ward Beecher)

The smallest things become great when God requires them of us; they are small only in themselves; they are always great when they are done for God, and when they serve to unite us with Him eternally. (Quote by - Fran ois F nelon)

For me, my faith is a really big part of my life, and it is important for me to walk it out every day, .. Part of our faith as Christians is the command that we let people see who we are as Christians. I'm doing my part to show who I am and that I'm not ashamed of it. (Quote by - Ashley Young)

Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974 The reason that the Ten Commandments are short and clear is that they were handed down direct, and not through several committees. (Quote by - Dan Bennett)

When compassion for the common man was born on Christmas Day, with it was born new hope among the multitudes. They feel a great, ever-rising determination to lift themselves and their children our of hunger and disease and misery, up to a higher level. Jesus started a fire upon the earth, and it is burning hot today, the fire of a new hope in the hearts of the hungry multitudes. (Quote by - Frank C. Laubach)

Everybody is out of the closet except Christians. Satan has set up no trespassing signs and the problem is Christians are obeying them. We can serve God better together than we can segregated. (Quote by - Alfonzo Surrett)

We wanted a place where people could come and work on their beliefs, their values within a Christian environment, but we didn't feel you should be so right-up front expecting people to walk in with the real standard Christianity. (Quote by - Ellen Blake)

We're looking to make crossover movies. There are lots of Christian movies being made in Nigeria, but they are made by Christian actors, Christian producers, Christian everything. But because of that a lot of people are not going to go near them. (Quote by - Ope Banwo)

We are living "between the times" -- the time of Christ's resurrection and the new age of the Spirit, and the time of fulfillment in Christ. Life in the Spirit is a pledge, a "down-payment", on the final kingdom of shalom. In the meantime, we are to be signs of the kingdom which is, and which is coming. (Quote by - David Kirk)

Martin Luther described the doctrine of justification by faith as the article of faith that decides whether the church is standing or falling. By this he meant that when this doctrine is understood, believed, and preached, as it was in New-Testament times, the church stands in the grace of God and is alive; but where it is neglected, overlaid, or denied, ... the church falls from grace and its life drains away, leaving it in a state of darkness and death. (Quote by - J. I. Packer)

Christians need to realize that the Third (or Newest) Testament is critical for the integrity of their witness; the way they live. (Quote by - Hanno Langenhoven)

There are only two reasons why some people are not Christians. One, they have never met a Christian, or two, they have met a Christian. (Quote by - Sean Green)

To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan. (Quote by - Alan Moore)

Believing that in a wise way it is good to go to church, and that associating with Christians would improve my character, I have adopted the Christian religion.. I am not ashamed to be a Christian.. I have advised all of my people who are not Christians, to study that religion, because it seems to me the best religion in enabling one to live right. (Quote by - Geronimo)

He wasn't raised as a Christian, and he had never found any kind of religion to settle down with. He thought he'd found something that worked for him. It's not worshipping the devil. It's nothing ritualistic. It's about the pursuit of knowledge. He explained to me that there can be Satanic Christians. It gave him the peacefulness and serenity of Buddhism. It was a real peaceful thing. (Quote by - Jeremy Burgess)

Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689 Although tares, or impure vessels, are found in the church, yet this is not a reason why we should withdraw from it. It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man. This is proud obstinacy and sacrilegious presumption, originating in a corrupt frenzy. (Quote by - St. Cyprian)

Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life. (Quote by - Luis Palau)

The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance. It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down. (Quote by - George Whitefield)

Therefore there is absolutely no Christian acknowledgement of the 21st Century human idea that it's possible somehow for a person to take charge of their own destiny and to decide what their own sexuality is. Someone who does that.. is therefore actually perpetuating an illusion or masquerading and any Christian is clearly not going to be supportive of someone who purports to be what they're not. (Quote by - Don Horrocks)
