He (Chuck Smith) was leery of music that moved the body more than the soul. ~ Larry Eskridge
Contemporary Christian quotes by Larry Eskridge
God had certainly not abandoned her."
(Finding Margo) ~ Jen Turano
Contemporary Christian quotes by Jen Turano
Most televangelists, popular Christian preacher icons, and heads of those corporations that we call megachurches share an unreflective modern view of Jesus--that he translates easily and almost automatically into a modern idiom. The fact is, however, that Jesus was not a person of the twenty-first century who spoke the language of contemporary Christian America (or England or Germany or anywhere else). Jesus was inescapably and ineluctably a Jew living in first-century Palestine. He was not like us, and if we make him like us we transform the historical Jesus into a creature that we have invented for ourselves and for our own purposes.

Jesus would not recognize himself in the preaching of most of his followers today. He knew nothing of our world. He was not a capitalist. He did not believe in free enterprise. He did not support the acquisition of wealth or the good things in life. He did not believe in massive education. He had never heard of democracy. He had nothing to do with going to church on Sunday. He knew nothing of social security, food stamps, welfare, American exceptionalism, unemployment numbers, or immigration. He had no views on tax reform, health care (apart from wanting to heal leprosy), or the welfare state. So far as we know, he expressed no opinion on the ethical issues that plague us today: abortion and reproductive rights, gay marriage, euthanasia, or bombing Iraq. His world was not ours, his concerns were not ours, and--most striking of all-- ~ Bart D. Ehrman
Contemporary Christian quotes by Bart D. Ehrman
Contemporary Christian proclamation is faced with the question whether, when it demands faith from men and women, it expects them to acknowledge this mythical world picture from the past. If this is impossible, it has to face the question whether the New Testament proclamation has a truth that is independent of the mythical world picture, in which case it would be the task of theology to demythologize the Christian proclamation. ~ Rudolf Bultmann
Contemporary Christian quotes by Rudolf Bultmann
Rabbi Kushner writes from a wealth of Jewish wisdom and pastoral devotion, but his theology is, I find, is wholly in keeping with contemporary Christian thought. So far as there is an answer to the conflict between the goodness of God and the bitterness of suffering, this is it ~ Gerald Priestland
Contemporary Christian quotes by Gerald Priestland
I think a lot of people trying to follow Buddhism these days are getting confused about sex and they don't understand what's going on. They've been exposed to a contemporary Christian idea that sex itself is evil and bad, which I'm not so sure was Jesus' idea. For me, the Buddhist approach isn't that sex itself is evil or bad but that sex is neutral. It's the way you do it that can problematic. ~ Brad Warner
Contemporary Christian quotes by Brad Warner
Marriage isn't about avoiding discomfort. It's about commitment. ~ Cynthia Ruchti
Contemporary Christian quotes by Cynthia Ruchti
The contemporary Christian mind is starved, and as a result we have small, impoverished souls. ~ J.P. Moreland
Contemporary Christian quotes by J.P. Moreland
I guess that's what life is, though, isn't it? A whole bunch of little moments that don't seem significant or life-altering at the time, but when you look back . . .' She shook her head. 'I don't know. They become the most profoundly beautiful things. ~ Katie Ganshert
Contemporary Christian quotes by Katie Ganshert
It's so funny being a Christian musician. It always scares me when people think so highly of Christian music, Contemporary Christian music especially. Because I kinda go, I know a lot of us, and we don't know jack about anything. Not that I don't want you to buy our records and come to our concerts. I sure do. But you should come for entertainment. If you really want spiritual nourishment, you should go to church ... you should read the Scriptures. ~ Rich Mullins
Contemporary Christian quotes by Rich Mullins
[ ... ] outlining how certain fans of 'NSYNC like to imagine Justin Timber lake getting fisted by Lance Bass. Glenn Dixon surmised that much of the Contemporary Christian genre is driven by artists who literally want to fuck Jesus Christ. ~ Chuck Klosterman
Contemporary Christian quotes by Chuck Klosterman
The contemporary Christian Church, precisely, has understood them in this' 'wrong way, to the letter, 'like the Jews,' exoterically, not esoterically. Nevertheless to say 'like the Jews' is an error. One would have to say 'as the Jews want.' Because they also possess an exotericism, for their masses, represented by the Torah and Talmud, and an esotericism, in the Cabala (which means: 'Received Tradition'), in the Zohar ('brightness'), the Merkaba or Chariot being the most secret part of the Cabala which only initiated rabbis know and use as the powerful tool of their magic. We have already said that the Cabala reached them from elsewhere, like everything else, in the Middle Ages, even though they tell us otherwise, using and transforming it in concordance with their Archetype. The Hasidim, from Poland, represent an exclusively esoteric sect of Judaism.

Islam also has its esoteric magic, represented by Sufism and the sect of the Assassins, Hassanists, oflran. They interpret the Koran symbolically. And it was because of contact with this sect of the 'Old Man of the Mountain' that the Templars felt compelled to secede more and more from the direction of Rome, centering themselves in their Esoteric Kristianity and Mystery of the Gral. This was also why Rome destroyed them, like the esoteric Cathars (katharos = pure in Greek), the Bogomils, the Manichees and the gnostics.

In the Church of Rome, called Catholic, there only remains a soulless ritual of the Mass ~ Miguel Serrano
Contemporary Christian quotes by Miguel Serrano
It's funny how after all those years attending youth events with light shows and bands, after all the contemporary Christian music and contemporary Christian books, after all the updated technology and dynamic speakers and missional enterprises and relevant marketing strategies designed to make Christianity cool, all I wanted from the church when I was ready to give it up was a quiet sanctuary and some candles. All I wanted was a safe place to be. Like so many, I was in search of sanctuary. ~ Rachel Held Evans
Contemporary Christian quotes by Rachel Held Evans
He is conscious of the past and present injustices, but he knows that real remedies are to be found in contemporary Christian compassion, and not in compensatory justice. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Contemporary Christian quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Contemporary Christian church would normally think that things are impossible ~ Sunday Adelaja
Contemporary Christian quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Do not say, 'But it is hypocritical to thank God with my tongue when I don't feel thankful in my heart.' There is such a thing as hypocritical thanksgiving. Its aim is to conceal ingratitude and get the praise of men. That is not your aim. Your aim in loosing your tongue with words of gratitude is that God would be merciful and fill your words with the emotion of true gratitude. You are not seeking the praise of men; you are seeing the mercy of God. You are not hiding the hardness of ingratitude, but hoping for the in-breaking of the Spirit.

Thanksgiving with the Mouth Stirs Up Thankfulness in the Heart

Moreover, we should probably ask the despairing saint, 'Do you know your heart so well that you are sure the words of thanks have no trace of gratitude in them?' I, for one, distrust my own assessment of my motives. I doubt that I know my good ones well enough to see all the traces of contamination. And I doubt that I know my bad ones well enough to see the traces of grace. Therefore, it is not folly for a Christian to assume that there is a residue of gratitude in his heart when he speaks and sings of God's goodness even though he feels little or nothing. To this should be added that experience shows that doing the right thing, in the way I have described, is often the way toward being in the right frame. Hence Baxter gives this wise counsel to the oppressed Christian:

'Resolve to spend most of your time in thanksgiving and praising God. If y ~ John Piper
Contemporary Christian quotes by John Piper
To be enriched in the giving, I must at the self-same time be completely depleted by it. For if I am not depleted, I have not given in the first place and therefore I will not be enriched in any place. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Contemporary Christian quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
If isolation is the furnace of transformation, I could be ashes by now. ~ Stephen Christian
Contemporary Christian quotes by Stephen Christian
During breakfast there is something I cannot resist, apart from my boyfriend - it's actually the phone. I have a phone breakfast. Always. I call friends, boyfriend, family. Checking who is where. 'Is everything fine?' This is breakfast. ~ Christian Louboutin
Contemporary Christian quotes by Christian Louboutin
Unless you know in your heart that you can live a life of dignity and honor here, unless you believe that you can pledge yourself to that girl for the rest of your life, then don't stay and add to the tears that have already ben shed in this country. Don't be yet another man who comes here as a Christian only to dishonor the Lord's name. ~ Serena B. Miller
Contemporary Christian quotes by Serena B. Miller
Our children's rebellion is not the problem. It is the symptom. Why they are rebelling is the problem. And unless we address the "why," the external things we do in reaction to their rebellion will not make much of a difference. ~ Tim Kimmel
Contemporary Christian quotes by Tim Kimmel
Sarah, I'm going to take care of you whether you like it or not. ~ Robyn Carr
Contemporary Christian quotes by Robyn Carr
We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life "hidden with Christ in God" in our everyday human conditions. ~ Oswald Chambers
Contemporary Christian quotes by Oswald Chambers
A Christian is God Almighty's gentleman. ~ Augustus Hare
Contemporary Christian quotes by Augustus Hare
Certain new theologians dispute original sin, which is the only part of Christian theology which can really be proved. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Contemporary Christian quotes by G.K. Chesterton
As for a climactic conflict between a once-Christian West and an Islamic world that is growing in numbers and advancing inexorably into Europe for the third time in 14 centuries, on this one, Breivik may be right. ~ Pat Buchanan
Contemporary Christian quotes by Pat Buchanan
In 1962, the Supreme Court banned organized prayer from public schools. Since then, federal, state, and local courts and officials, including public school administrators, have joined in a nationwide search and destroy mission for student religious practices. ~ Ralph E. Reed, Jr.
Contemporary Christian quotes by Ralph E. Reed, Jr.
Christians are the unstable, unlettered, superstitious masses ~ Pope Julius II
Contemporary Christian quotes by Pope Julius II
Talk to me. Say something, anything," he pleaded quietly as if he was trying to tame a wild animal.
"There's nothing to say."
He looked up and lowered his eyebrows on his eyes. "Why did you kiss me? ~ Stephanie Witter
Contemporary Christian quotes by Stephanie Witter
Contemplation is the awareness and realization, even in some sense experience, of what each Christian obscurely believes: "It is now no longer I that live but Christ lives in me." Hence ~ Thomas Merton
Contemporary Christian quotes by Thomas Merton
God's supernatural self-control is available to us when we walk by the Spirit. ~ Elizabeth George
Contemporary Christian quotes by Elizabeth George
Lack of world vision in any Christian produces a 'pea-sized Christianity'. ~ David Bryant
Contemporary Christian quotes by David Bryant
My order of priorities reflects the level of my commitment to Christ. Whoever or whatever is in first place, if it isn't the Lord Jesus, is in the wrong place. ~ Charles R. Swindoll
Contemporary Christian quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
Women, with their sure instincts, realized that my intention was to make them not just more beautiful but also happier. ~ Christian Dior
Contemporary Christian quotes by Christian Dior
When your life is out of balance your cheque bounces ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Contemporary Christian quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
It is the mark of a hypocrite to be a Christian everywhere but home. ~ Robert Murray M'Cheyne
Contemporary Christian quotes by Robert Murray M'Cheyne
Mr. Blatchford attacks Christianity because he is mad on one Christian virtue: the merely mystical and almost irrational virtue of charity. He has a strange idea that he will make it easier to forgive sins by saying that there are no sins to forgive. Mr. Blatchford is not only an early Christian, he is the only early Christian who really ought to have been eaten by lions. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Contemporary Christian quotes by G.K. Chesterton
We cannot expect to be happy always ... by experiencing evil as well as good we become wise. ~ Hans Christian Andersen
Contemporary Christian quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
Dream-start with dream. Start tonight-become who you want-dream big!" He became animated at this point, "No money needed for dreams. Dreams are free. ~ Brian Joyce
Contemporary Christian quotes by Brian Joyce
Israel is the historical definition of the specific nature of the religious consciousness, save only that here this consciousness was circumscribed by the limits of a particular, national interest. Hence, we need only let these limits fall, and we have the Christian religion. ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
Contemporary Christian quotes by Ludwig Feuerbach
I wear this label of a Christian filmmaker proudly. ~ David A.R. White
Contemporary Christian quotes by David A.R. White
Just one more?" he said, holding up his thumb and index finger to indicate tiny. Oh so small. "Just one more little one? I don't think that was my best work, and what if this is the only time we ever kiss? Then you'll go on for the rest of your life thinking that's the best I can do. I don't think my ego can take that."

He sure as hell hoped this wouldn't be the only time they ever kissed. In fact, he was going to make damn sure of it, and then some. But for the moment, this angle was going to work for him. He could see her indecision. He leaned closer, his lips nearly touching hers. Her eyes fluttered shut as he whispered against her mouth, "Just one more. ~ Tracy Brogan
Contemporary Christian quotes by Tracy Brogan
I want to play everything. I want to be like Christian Bale: I want to be able to be Batman and then, like, his character in 'The Fighter.' That is what is so impressive about really good actors, that they can be character actors and leading men at the same time. ~ Ansel Elgort
Contemporary Christian quotes by Ansel Elgort
doctrine, the normal Christian safeguards which protect one against the attacks of fallen spirits are removed or neutralized, and the passiveness and "openness" which characterize the new cults literally open one up to be used by demons. Studies of the experiences of many of the "consciousness cults" show that there is a regular progression in them from experiences which at first are "good" or "neutral" to experiences which become strange and frightening and in the end clearly demonic. ~ Seraphim Rose
Contemporary Christian quotes by Seraphim Rose
Every author has some peculiarity in his descriptions or in his style of writing. Those who do not like him, magnify it, shrug up their shoulders, and exclaim __ there he is again! ~ Hans Christian Andersen
Contemporary Christian quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
If your heart loses the ability to trust, you'll never love again. ~ Ophelia London
Contemporary Christian quotes by Ophelia London
The fullness of God's grace fills us with power for every good work. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Contemporary Christian quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day. ~ E. M. Bounds
Contemporary Christian quotes by E. M. Bounds
Christians and non-Christian voters alike have become far too comfortable slinging rocks at the expense of making any real political or social progress. ~ Charity Sunshine Tillemann-Dick
Contemporary Christian quotes by Charity Sunshine Tillemann-Dick
Your Christians, whom one persecutes in vain, have something in them that surpasses the human. They lead a life of such innocence,that the heavens owe them some recognition: that they arise the stronger the more they are beaten down is hardly the result of common virtues. ~ Pierre Corneille
Contemporary Christian quotes by Pierre Corneille
Chronic boredom compensated or uncompensated constitutes one of the major psychopathological phenomena in contemporary technotronic society, although it is only recently that it has found some recognition. ~ Erich Fromm
