To the lover of the Lord Jesus Christ there can be nothing legal about baptism. It is simply the glad expression of a grateful heart recognizing its identity with Christ in death, burial, and resurrection. Many of us look back to the moment when we were thus baptized as one of the most precious experiences we have ever known. ~ Henry Allen Ironside
Groothuis Christian quotes by Henry Allen Ironside
As a man cannot lift a mountain, and as a kindly man cannot kill an infant, so a man living the Christian life cannot take part in deeds of violence. Of what value then to him are arguments about the imaginary advantages of doing what is morally impossible for him to do? ~ Leo Tolstoy
Groothuis Christian quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Terrible drought, crops dead, sheep dying. Spring dried up. No water. The Hopi, and the Christian, maybe the Moslem, they pray for rain. The Navajo has the proper ceremony done to restore himself to harmony with the drought. You see what I mean. The system is designed to recognize what's beyond human power to change, and then to change the human's attitude to be content with the inevitable. - Tony Hillerman, Sacred Clowns, 1993 ~ Tony Hillerman
Groothuis Christian quotes by Tony Hillerman
The whole Christ seeks after each sinner, and when the Lord finds it, he gives himself to that one soul as if he had but that one soul to bless. How my heart admires the concentration of all the Godhead and humanity of Christ in his search after each sheep of his flock. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Groothuis Christian quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Only one spirit, either good or bad, can operate at a time. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Groothuis Christian quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Wit is better as a seasoning than as a whole dish by itself. ~ Christian Nestell Bovee
Groothuis Christian quotes by Christian Nestell Bovee
What if tomorrow someone digs up definitive proof that Jesus had a real, earthly, biological father named Larry, and archeologists find Larry's tomb and do DNA samples and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the virgin birth was just a bit of mythologizing the Gospel writers threw in to appeal to the followers of the Mithra and Dionysian religious cults that were hugely popular at the time of Jesus, whose gods had virgin births? Could you still be a Christian? Is the way of Jesus still the best possible way to live? ~ Rob Bell
Groothuis Christian quotes by Rob Bell
If the Almighty in his mercy allows us to settle peace among the christian leaders, we shall press on not only to destroy completely the bad seeds, but also to expand the territories of Christ, and, supported by these achievements, we shall go forward, with God favouring his own purposes, to the most holy expedition against the infidels, the desire for which is deeply fixed in our heart. ~ Pope Leo X
Groothuis Christian quotes by Pope Leo X
You were always grossly obese,' observed Stephen. 'Were you to walk ten miles a day, and eat half what you do in fact devour, with no butcher's meat and no malt liquors, you would be able to play at the hand-ball like a Christian rather than a galvanized manatee, or dugong. Mr Goodridge, how do you so, sir? I hope I see you well.' This to Jack's opponent, a former shipmate, the master of HMS Polychrest and a fine navigator, but one whose calculations had unfortunately convinced him that phoenixes and comets were one and the same thing - that the appearance of a phoenix, reported in the chronicles, was in fact the return of one or another of the various comets whose periods were either known or conjectured. He resented disagreement, and although in ordinary matters he was the kindest, gentlest of men, he was now confined for maltreating a rear-admiral of the blue: he had not actually struck Sir James, but he had bitten his remonstrating finger. ~ Patrick O'Brian
Groothuis Christian quotes by Patrick O'Brian
A happy healthy soul; sacred life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Groothuis Christian quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire. ~ Leonard Ravenhill
Groothuis Christian quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
It's like this,' began the elder. 'All these sentences of hard labour in Siberian prisons, and formerly with flogging, too, do not reform anyone and, what's more, scarcely deter even one criminal, and, far from diminishing, the number of crimes are steadily increasing. You have to admit that. It therefore follows that society is not in the least protected, for though a harmful member is cut off automatically and exiled to some remote spot just to get rid of him, another criminal takes his place at once, and often, two, perhaps. If anything does protect society even today and indeed reforms the criminal himself and brings about his regeneration, it is, again, only the law of Christ, which reveals itself in the awareness of one's own consciousness. Only by recognizing his own guilt as a son of a Christian society, that is, of the Church, does the criminal recognize his guilt towards society itself, that is, towards the Church. The criminal today, therefore, is capable of recognizing his guilt only towards the Church, and not towards the State. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Groothuis Christian quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
An important distinction needs to be made in politics between allowing your values to guide you and keeping religion and government separate. Liberals are rightly concerned about government-established and government-supported religion, especially in our religiously polyglot society. But their unwillingness to engage on policy at the level of transcendent and timeless values, for fear of something too moralistic or religious, yields too much ground to the radical political right, which has come to claim Christianity in particular to advance a deeply non-Christian agenda. Theirs is a faith based on intolerance, a faith without compassion. Hating homosexuals and despising immigrants instead of hating poverty and despising homelessness seems to miss the point of a life of faithfulness. ~ Deval Patrick
Groothuis Christian quotes by Deval Patrick
God seemed to have become a brand, a packaging, and people purchase this trusted brand with such faith and devotion that they no longer care who the vendor is. ~ Justin Villanueva
Groothuis Christian quotes by Justin Villanueva
If you are a local church or non-profit, you live and die with volunteers. ~ Andy Stanley
Groothuis Christian quotes by Andy Stanley
The greatest art in life is to believe in Christ. That art is learned only in the Holy Spirit's school. ~ Christian Scriver
Groothuis Christian quotes by Christian Scriver
If we keep the path of virtue undefiled through devout and true knowledge, and do not deviate to either side, we will experience the advent of God revealed to us because of our dispassion. For 'I will sing a psalm and in a pure path I will understand when Thou wilt come to me' (cf. Ps. 101:1-2). The psalm stands for virtuous conduct; understanding indicates the spiritual knowledge, gained through virtue, by means of which we perceive God's advent, when we wait for the Lord vigilant in the virtues. ~ Maximus The Confessor
Groothuis Christian quotes by Maximus The Confessor
It is impossible to stand still in Christian life and service, for when you stand still, you immediately start going backward. "Let us go on!" is God's challenge to His church (Heb. 6:1), and that means moving ahead into new territory. ~ Warren W. Wiersbe
Groothuis Christian quotes by Warren W. Wiersbe
Is it really Allah's will, that none shall thrive, except the chosen hive? Islam is the one true religion, not a system of oppression. Islam is the one true religion, not a veil to persecution. Safa's tears fall. Still they fall. Fall on you. Fall on me. Safa's tears call. Still they call. Out to you. Out to me. Safa's tears weep. Still they weep. Weep for you. Weep for me. ~ Christian F. Burton
Groothuis Christian quotes by Christian F. Burton
The Gospel of Life is not for believers alone: it is for everyone. The issue of life and its defense and promotion is not a concern of the Christian alone. Although faith provides special light and strength, this question arises in every human conscience which seeks the truth and which cares about the future of humanity. Life certainly has a sacred and religious value, but in no way is that value a concern only of believers. The value at stake is one which every human being can grasp by the light of reason; thus it necessarily concerns everyone. ~ Pope John Paul II
Groothuis Christian quotes by Pope John Paul II
May I remember the goodness of the Lord at all times. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Groothuis Christian quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Your life "behind the scenes" must correspond to your life "on stage." What you preach must correspond to how you live ~ Sunday Adelaja
Groothuis Christian quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Being on a trapeze is like dreaming. I feel totally outside of myself when I'm flying. You know, designing shoes, my imagination is flying in my drawings. ~ Christian Louboutin
Groothuis Christian quotes by Christian Louboutin
Confession is the God-given remedy for self-deception and self-indulgence. When we confess our sins before a brother-Christian, we are mortifying the pride of the flesh and delivering it up to shame and death through Christ. Then through the word of absolution we rise as new men, utterly dependent on the mercy of God. Confession is thus a genuine part of the life of the saints, and one of the gifts of grace. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Groothuis Christian quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Amen" means 'Yes', it is done, glory to God! ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Groothuis Christian quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Much of today's decline of Christian influence can be traced, not to secularism, but to the failure of significant sections of the church in the era of slavery and segregation. The salt of our witness lost its savor on the altar of racism. Still today, if we speak up about marriage or religious liberty but not about race, why should we think anyone should listen? If we are courageous concerning justice for those who are made in the image of God and live in the womb, but silent about justice for those who have been and still are systemically stripped of the dignity that is theirs as image-bearers as they live in our societies, then we should not be surprised to be charged with double standards. ~ Daniel Darling
Groothuis Christian quotes by Daniel Darling
If you are godly it has been because you have been made godly. ~ Johnny Hunt
Groothuis Christian quotes by Johnny Hunt
Hear the bells ringing they're singing "Christ is risen from the dead!" The angel up on the tombstone said, He is risen just as he said! ~ Keith Green
Groothuis Christian quotes by Keith Green
My father ended up starting the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, which is on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. My mother started a school. ~ Greg Mortenson
Groothuis Christian quotes by Greg Mortenson
My quarrel with Chomsky goes back to the Balkan wars of the 1990s, where he more or less openly represented the "Serbian Socialist Party" (actually the national-socialist and expansionist dictatorship of Slobodan Milosevic) as the victim. Many of us are proud of having helped organize to prevent the slaughter and deportation of Europe's oldest and largest and most tolerant Muslim minority, in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Kosovo. But at that time, when they were real, Chomsky wasn't apparently interested in Muslim grievances. He only became a voice for that when the Taliban and Al Qaeda needed to be represented in their turn as the victims of a "silent genocide" in Afghanistan. Let me put it like this, if a supposed scholar takes the Christian-Orthodox side when it is the aggressor, and then switches to taking the "Muslim" side when Muslims commit mass murder, I think that there is something very nasty going on. And yes, I don't think it is exaggerated to describe that nastiness as "anti-American" when the power that stops and punishes both aggressions is the United States. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Groothuis Christian quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Ask me, "Why would you travel on the difficult path?". Because , I trust God to walk me through the unknown journey. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Groothuis Christian quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
It's very different to live with a mask. ~ Johnny Hunt
Groothuis Christian quotes by Johnny Hunt
The art of survival is a story that never ends. ~ Christian Bale
Groothuis Christian quotes by Christian Bale
Nothing has contributed so much to the obscuring of Christian truth in the eyes of the heathen,
and has hindered so much the diffusion of Christianity through the world, as the disregard of [non-resistance] by men calling themselves Christians, and the permission of war and violence to Christians. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Groothuis Christian quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Let us expect that God is going to use us. Let us have courage and go forward, looking to God to do great things. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Groothuis Christian quotes by Dwight L. Moody
When Jesus Christ forgives you of sin, He never brings it back up. ~ Johnny Hunt
Groothuis Christian quotes by Johnny Hunt
Only one reliable force stands in the way of the power of the strong over the weak. Only one reliable force forms the foundation of the concept of the rule of law. Only one reliable force restrains the hand of the man of power. And, in an age of power-worship, the Christian religion has become the principal obstacle to the desire of earthly utopians for absolute power. ~ Peter Hitchens
Groothuis Christian quotes by Peter Hitchens
