Christian Quotations | Page 7

We are approaching a time when Christians, especially, may have to declare the social contract between Enlightenment rationalists and Biblical believers - which formed the basis of the constitution written at our nation's founding - null and void.

Funds are low again, hallelujah! That means God trusts us and is willing to leave His reputation in our hands.

Real Christians revel in desperate ventures for Christ, expecting from God great things and attempting the same with exhilaration.

Had I cared for the comments of people, I should never have been a missionary.

How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churches and missionary societies have so bound Him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves.

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

Another way Christ affects us is by inspiring our gratitude. He left the glories of heaven in order to become our Savior, and when we recognize that sacrifice, we are filled with thankfulness and praise.

When friends abandoned him, Paul asked God not to count their actions against them. He followed the example of Jesus, who prayed for the Father to forgive His persecutors. What's your response when friends let you down? Forgiveness is the choice that pleases God every time.

The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.

Christians often want to hide behind the walls of the church, where we are comfortable, but sometimes we have to come out of the box.
