We've lost the real Jesus - or at least exchanged him for a newer, safer, sanitized, ineffectual one. We've created a Christian subculture that comes with its own set of customs, rules, rituals, paradigms, and products that are nowhere near the rugged, revolutionary faith of biblical Christianity. In our subculture Jesus would have never been crucified - he's too nice. ~ Jefferson Bethke
Christian Subculture quotes by Jefferson Bethke
We need to be very careful to go to the pages of the Scripture to learn about God's will and the leading of the Spirit, and not simply to listen to the popular teachings of the Christian subculture in which we live. ~ R.C. Sproul
Christian Subculture quotes by R.C. Sproul
As they seek authenticity, Emerging Evangelicals seek freedom - from loneliness, convention, unwanted authority, dominant paradigms, the prevailing social climate, and impersonal bureaucracies. Ironically, in this sense, their preferred narrative and their desired subjectivity are just as modern as what they seek to distance themselves from: the conservative Christian subculture, including its born-again narrative of awakening and transformation. ~ James S Bielo
Christian Subculture quotes by James S Bielo
That many do not advance in the Christian progress because they stick in penances, and particular exercises, while they neglect the love of God, which is the end. That this appeared plainly by their works, and was the reason why we see so little solid virtue. ~ Brother Lawrence
Christian Subculture quotes by Brother Lawrence
So she was what Hester called a 911 Christian: in the event of an emergency, call the Lord. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Christian Subculture quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made. ~ John Howard Yoder
Christian Subculture quotes by John Howard Yoder
Everyone needs to calm down! Okay, you got a weird cookie. So what? I don't mean to swat your ego here, buddy, but this smacks a little narcissistic for me. God is not trying to communicate to you through a cookie. It doesn't work that way. God's not all Jack-and-the-magic-beans and tooth-beneath-the pillow voodoo. You don't just close your eyes, flap open your Bible, and slam a steak knife into a verse. It's that sort of thinking that leads to witch trials and Senate probes. ~ Geoffrey Wood
Christian Subculture quotes by Geoffrey Wood
A perception of empire is found in an early Christian acrostic. An acrostic is a word made up of the first letters of each word in a phrase or sentence. In this case, the phrase is an early Christian saying in Latin: radix omnium malorum avaritia. Radix means "root," omnium means "all," malorum means "evil," and avaritia means "avarice" (or "greed"). Putting it together, it says, "Avarice (or greed) is the root of all evil." And the first letters of each word produce Roma, the Latin spelling of Rome. It makes a striking point: Roma - empire - is the embodiment of avarice, the incarnation of greed. That's what empire is about. The embodiment of greed in domination systems is the root of all evil. ~ Marcus J. Borg
Christian Subculture quotes by Marcus J. Borg
. . . Nietzche himself had a Christian view of history, seeing the present moment always as some crisis, some fall from classical greatness, some corruption or evil to be saved from. ~ Saul Bellow
Christian Subculture quotes by Saul Bellow
Do you who are a Christian desire to be revenged and vindicated, and the death of Jesus Christ has not yet been revenged, nor His innocence vindicated? ~ Saint Augustine
Christian Subculture quotes by Saint Augustine
The Christian calendar is wrong, Jesus was born years earlier. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Christian Subculture quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
For white people, nothing makes them appreciate the gift of life more than voluntarily trying to end it. ~ Christian Lander
Christian Subculture quotes by Christian Lander
Be sure of this: when you make time for the Holy Spirit, He will make time to visit you. ~ Tiffany Domena
Christian Subculture quotes by Tiffany Domena
The explanation for her absence had been staring him in the face all the while, but he hadn't wanted to acknowledge it: The affair meant nothing to her. He'd been the only one bewitched body and soul. For her, he'd been but a temporary source of entertainment, a way to pass the otherwise tedious hours in the middle of an ocean.
He'd been the one to press for a continuation of their affair beyond the voyage. He'd been the one to offer his heart, his hand, his every last secret. She never even gave her real name.
And, of course, never showed her face. ~ Sherry Thomas
Christian Subculture quotes by Sherry Thomas
On popular issues like poverty and slavery, where Christians are likely to be applauded for our social action, we are quick to stand up and speak out. Yet on controversial issues like homosexuality and abortion, where Christians are likely to be criticized for our involvement, we are content to sit down and stay quiet. ~ David Platt
Christian Subculture quotes by David Platt
At the end of the day, the biggest obstacle to evangelism is Christians who don't share the gospel. ~ Albert Mohler
Christian Subculture quotes by Albert Mohler
What we call doubt is often simply dullness of mind and spirit, not the absence of faith at all, but faith latent with the lives we are not quite living, God dormant in the world to which we are not quite giving our best selves. ~ Christian Wiman
Christian Subculture quotes by Christian Wiman
We can embrace change by knowing we serve an unchanging God. ~ David Jeremiah
Christian Subculture quotes by David Jeremiah
If ... God highly exalted Christ because He humbled Himself, suffered dishonour, was tempted and endured a shameful cross and death for our sake, how will He save, glorify and raise us up if we neither choose humility, nor show love to our fellows, nor gain our souls by enduring temptation (cf. Lk. 21:19), nor follow the saving Guide through the 'strait gate' and along the 'narrow way' leading to eternal life (Mt. 7:14)? To this end we were called, says Peter, the chief Apostle, ' Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that we should follow His steps' (I Pet. 2:21). ~ Gregory Palamas
Christian Subculture quotes by Gregory Palamas
God is not afraid of pain. He does not try to keep us from it. He does not avoid it for Himself. ~ Rachel Phifer
Christian Subculture quotes by Rachel Phifer
If I assume that my vocabulary is big enough to envelop all of God, I can be certain that it is my arrogance that has enveloped all of me. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Christian Subculture quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
I think we got in more trouble with Aunt Tasha," said Christian. "She was kind of pissed off that we didnʹt tell her what was going on. I think she probably wanted to blow up the statues herself. ~ Richelle Mead
Christian Subculture quotes by Richelle Mead
He said He was God, in many ways and at many times in the Gospels. If this was not true, that would make Him either an insane fool, if He believed it, or a blasphemous liar, if He didn't. His miracles, like His holiness, His love, and His wisdom, make it impossible to call Him a lunatic or a liar; therefore we must call Him Lord. This is the "Lord, liar, or lunatic" argument made famous by C. S. Lewis and Josh McDowell. It goes back to St. Thomas, to the early Christian apologists like St. Justin Martyr, and, as St. Thomas shows here, implicitly to Christ Himself. ~ Peter Kreeft
Christian Subculture quotes by Peter Kreeft
Epictetus has had a long-standing resonance in the United States; his uncompromising moral rigour chimed in well with Protestant Christian beliefs and the ethical individualism that has been a persistent vein in American culture. His admirers ranged from John Harvard and Thomas Jefferson in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau in the nineteenth. More recently, Vice-Admiral James Stockdale wrote movingly of how his study of Epictetus at Stanford University enabled him to survive the psychological pressure of prolonged torture as a prisoner of war in Vietnam between 1965 and 1973. Stockdale's story formed the basis for a light-hearted treatment of the moral power of Stoicism in Tom Wolfe's novel A Man in Full (1998).52 ~ Epictetus
Christian Subculture quotes by Epictetus
Paul was not a practical Christian who regarded life as superior to doctrine, and practice as superior to principle. On the contrary, he overcame the principle of Jewish particularism in the only way in which it could be overcome; he overcame principle by principle. ~ Anonymous
Christian Subculture quotes by Anonymous
Trust God for the impossible-miracles are His department. Our job is to do our best, letting the Lord do the rest. ~ David Jeremiah
Christian Subculture quotes by David Jeremiah
The age of ignorance commenced with the Christian system. ~ Thomas Paine
Christian Subculture quotes by Thomas Paine
Vision involves optimism and hope. The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. ~ J. Oswald Sanders
Christian Subculture quotes by J. Oswald Sanders
I think most non-Christians who try to be good people are probably better Christians than Christians. ~ Paul Kantner
Christian Subculture quotes by Paul Kantner
This conversation revealed to Odo a third conception of the religious idea. In Piedmont religion imposed itself as a military discipline, the enforced duty of the Christian citizen to the heavenly state; to the Duke it was a means of purchasing spiritual immunity from the consequences of bodily weakness; to the Bishop, it replaced the panem et circenses of ancient Rome. Where, in all this, was the share of those whom Christ had come to save? Where was Saint Francis's devotion to his heavenly bride, the Lady Poverty? Though here and there a good parish priest like Crescenti ministered to the temporal wants of the peasantry, it was only the free-thinker and the atheist who, at the risk of life and fortune, laboured for their moral liberation. Odo listened with a saddened heart, thinking, as he followed his host through the perfumed shade of the gardens, and down ~ Edith Wharton
Christian Subculture quotes by Edith Wharton
Nature is God's workshop. The sky is his resume. The universe is his calling card. You want to know who God is? See what he has done. ~ Max Lucado
Christian Subculture quotes by Max Lucado
You should go back to tend your flock. They will have need of their faith before this is finished," he said much more harshly than intended. ~ Christian Warren Freed
Christian Subculture quotes by Christian Warren Freed
The constant bombardment of the paranormal through media (Reality TV, Movies, Magazines etc.) is desensitizing our understanding of the cosmic warfare that is being waged by Satan. ~ Jonah Books.com
Christian Subculture quotes by Jonah Books.com
[Paul] has no intention to instruct the Christian community about the task and responsibility of government. His entire concern is with the responsibility of the Christian community towards the State. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christian Subculture quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian's hope is not a possibility but a promise in Jesus. ~ Jim George
Christian Subculture quotes by Jim George
There is a greater Christian faith than one which settles for the temporal happiness, and that is the augmentation of faith. The more faithful you become, the harder the obstacles get; but the harder the obstacles get, the tougher your spine grows; and the tougher your spine grows, the less dependent you are on man's approval. I came to know this about Christianity when valuing faith before comfort. ~ Criss Jami
Christian Subculture quotes by Criss Jami
The African-American tradition, in the main, is very, very church-based, very, very Christian. It accepts, you know, certain narratives about the world. I didn't really have that present in my house. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Christian Subculture quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
As a result, GED, substance-abuse, and sex-offender programs are replaced by prison courses in "biblically based therapy sessions" and Christian sex-offender "cure" programs, with public dollars flowing into church coffers across the country. ~ Tara Herivel
Christian Subculture quotes by Tara Herivel
While the concepts of vigneron and terroir exist elsewhere in France, no community of vignerons takes all of this more seriously than the subculture, or perhaps, superculture of Burgundian vignerons. These philosopher-farmer-shamans strive to bottle the divine as the divine deserves, convinced that the blood of Christ flows from these veins of the earth. Terroir and vigneron, in Burgundy, are terms of a religion, and of all the sacraments and rituals Burgundian vignerons hold dear, none is more sacred than the marrying of a vine to earth. ~ Maximillian Potter
Christian Subculture quotes by Maximillian Potter
Remember young man, unceasingly,' Father Paissy began, without preface, 'that the science of this world, which has become a great power, has, especially in the last century, analysed everything divine handed down to us in the holy books. After this cruel analysis the learned of this world have nothing left of all that was sacred of old. But they have only analysed the parts and overlooked the whole, and indeed their blindness is marvelous. Yet the whole world still stands steadfast before their eyes, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it Has it not lasted nineteen centuries, is it not still a living, a moving power in the individual soul and in the masses of the people? It is still as strong and living even in the souls of atheists, who have destroyed everything! For even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardor of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Christian Subculture quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
We've been wed more than a month. Since it appears you mean to stay, I might as well give you leave to call me by my christian name. It is preferable, at any rate, to 'clodpole. ~ Loretta Chase
Christian Subculture quotes by Loretta Chase
If we look back in history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find a few that have not in their turns been persecutors and complainers of persecution. The primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practised it on one another. The first Protestants of the Church of England blamed persecution in the Romish Church, but practised it upon the Puritans. They found it wrong in Bishops, but fell into the practice themselves both there (England) and New England. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Christian Subculture quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Even the best of Christians are troubled by the question, "Why does an almighty God send, or at least allow, suffering?" When you are nagged by thoughts like this, say to yourself, "I am still in elementary school. When I graduate from the university of Christian life, I will understand His ways better and doubts will cease. ~ Richard Wurmbrand
Christian Subculture quotes by Richard Wurmbrand
Jason (Elam, a Christian) is the kid in high school who gets along equally well with the jocks, the brains, the geeks, and the slackers, and influences their behavior. ~ Stefan Fatsis
Christian Subculture quotes by Stefan Fatsis
Some people erroneously believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members are not Christian. We have difficulty understanding why anyone could accept and promote an idea that is so far from the truth. ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin
Christian Subculture quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin
[ ... ] central Christian theology (sufficiently summarized in the Apostles' Creed) is the best root of energy and sound ethics. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Christian Subculture quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Love is the greatest self. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Christian Subculture quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Teachers of my
early youth
Taught forgiveness
stressed the truth
Here then is my
Christian lack:
If I'm struck then
I'll strike back. ~ Maya Angelou
Christian Subculture quotes by Maya Angelou
Whatever you can visualize, you can possess it. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Christian Subculture quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
If we want to know our God-given gifts, we must know the giver. ~ Eric Samuel Timm
Christian Subculture quotes by Eric Samuel Timm
Given the sin of impiety through which they [the Romans] sinned against the divine nature [by idolatry], the punishment that led them to sin against their own nature followed ... I say, therefore, that since they changed into lies [by idolatry] the truth about God, He brought them to ignominious passions, that is, to sins against nature; not that God led them to evil, but only that he abandoned them to evil ... ~ Thomas Aquinas
Christian Subculture quotes by Thomas Aquinas
But underneath all this reasonable talk, this scientific speculating, no white Afrikaner could quite put down the way it felt…Something sinister was moving out in the veld: he was beginning to look at their faces, especially those of the women, lined beyond the thorn fences, and he knew beyond logical proof: there was a tribal mind at work out here, and it had chosen to commit suicide…Puzzling. Perhaps we weren't as fair as we might have been, perhaps we did take their cattle and their lands away…and then the work-camps of course, the barbed wire, and the stockades…Perhaps they feel it is a world they no longer want to live in. Typical of them, though, giving up, crawling away to die…why won't they even negotiate? We could work out a solution, some solution…
It was a simple choice for the Hereros, between two kinds of death: tribal death, or Christian death. Tribal death made sense. Christian death made none at all. It seemed an exercise they did not need. But to the Europeans, conned by their own Baby Jesus Con Game, what they were witnessing among these Hereros was a mystery potent as that of the elephant graveyard, or the lemmings rushing into the sea. ~ Thomas Pynchon
