“We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.”
– A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy

“I am fallen, flawed and imperfect. Yet drenched in the grace and mercy that is found in Jesus Christ, there is strength”
– Adam Young

“You know, we can quote the written Word all day to our friends, but nothing will touch them like our own hunger and love for the Word himself. It is not dutiful love that attracts but love freely lavished from a heart familiar with the gardens of heaven.”
– Amy Layne Litzelman, This Beloved Road: A Journey of Revelation and Worship

“Only you pick that crab. Nobody else take it. I already know this. Everyone else want best quality. You thinking different.”
– Amy Tan, The Joy Luck Club

“A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.”
– Andrew Murray, Jesus Himself

“The Lord gave the wonderful promise of the free use of His Name with the Father in conjunction with doing His works. The disciple who lives only for Jesus work and Kingdom, for His will and honor, will be given the power to appropriate the promise. Anyone grasping the promise only when he wants something very special for himself will be disappointed, because he is making Jesus the servant of his own comfort. But whoever wants to pray the effective prayer of faith because he needs it for the work of the Master will learn it, because he has made himself the servant of his Lords interests.”
– Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer

“Why couldn’t Jesus command us to obsess over everything, to try to control and manipulate people, to try not to breathe at all, or to pay attention, stomp away to brood when people annoy us, and then eat a big bag of Hershey’s Kisses in bed?”
– Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith

“Whoever has My commandments and keeps them loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and show Myself to him.”
– Anonymous

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
– Anonymous, Life Application Study Bible: NIV

“…Our Lord Jesus Christ added nothing to God in his essential being and glory, either by what He did or suffered. True, blessedly and gloriously true. He manifested the glory of God to us, but he added nought to God… Christ’s goodness and righteousness reached unto His saints in the earth but God was high above and beyond it all….”
– Arthur W. Pink, The Attributes of God

“He loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.”
– Augustine of Hippo

“Jesus waited three days to come back to life. It was perfect! If he had only waited one day, a lot of people wouldnt have even heard he died. Theyd be all, Hey Jesus, what up? and Jesus would probably be like, What up? I died yesterday! and theyd be all, Uh, you look pretty alive to me, dude… and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the duded be like Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro… And hes not gonna come back on a Saturday. Everybodys busy, doing chores, workin the loom, trimmin the beard, NO. He waited the perfect number of days, three. Plus its Sunday, so everyones in church already, and theyre all in there like Oh no, Jesus is dead, and then BAM! He bursts in the back door, runnin up the aisle, everyones totally psyched, and FYI, thats when he invented the high five. Thats why we wait three days to call a woman, because thats how long Jesus wants us to wait…. True story.”
– Barney Stinson

“I want neither a terrorist spirituality that keeps me in a perpetual state of fright about being in right relationship with my heavenly Father nor a sappy spirituality that portrays God as such a benign teddy bear that there is no aberrant behavior or desire of mine that he will not condone. I want a relationship with the Abba of Jesus, who is infinitely compassionate with my brokenness and at the same time an awesome, incomprehensible, and unwieldy Mystery. ”
– Brennan Manning

“At Sunday worship, as in every dimension of our existence, many of us pretend to believe we are sinners. Consequently, all we can do is pretend we have been forgiven. As a result, our whole spiritual life is pseudo-repentance and pseudo-bliss.”
– Brennan Manning

“To ignore, repress, or dismiss our feelings is to fail to listen to the stirrings of the Spirit within our emotional life. Jesus listened. In Johns Gospel we are told that Jesus was moved with the deepest emotions (11:33)… The gospel portrait of the beloved Child of Abba is that of a man exquisitely attuned to His emotions and uninhibited in expressing them. The Son of Man did not scorn of reject feelings as fickle and unreliable. They were sensitive antennae to which He listened carefully and through which He perceived the will of His Father for congruent speech and action.”
– Brennan Manning, Abbas Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging

“The unwounded life bears no resemblance to the Rabbi.”
– Brennan Manning, Abbas Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging

“For me the most radical demand of Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of Jesus Christ.”
– Brennan Manning, Abbas Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging

“The life of Jesus suggests that to be like Abba is to show compassion. Donald Gray expresses this: Jesus reveals in an exceptionally human life what it is to live a divine life, a compassionate life.”
– Brennan Manning, Abbas Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging

“The gospel is absurd and the life of Jesus is meaningless unless we believe that He lived, died, and rose again with but one purpose in mind: to make brand-new creation. Not to make people with better morals but to create a community of prophets and professional lovers, men and women who would surrender to the mystery of the fire of the Spirit that burns within, who would live in ever greater fidelity to the omnipresent Word of God, who would enter into the center of it all, the very heart and mystery of Christ, into the center of the flame that consumes, purifies, and sets everything aglow with peace, joy, boldness, and extravagant, furious love. This, my friend, is what it really means to be a Christian.”
– Brennan Manning, The Furious Longing of God

“For those who feel their lives are a grave disappointment to God, it requires enormous trust and reckless, raging confidence to accept that the love of Jesus Christ knows no shadow of alteration or change. When Jesus said, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy burdened, He assumed we would grow weary, discouraged, and disheartened along the way. These words are a touching testimony to the genuine humanness of Jesus. He had no romantic notion of the cost of discipleship. He knew that following Him was as unsentimental as duty, as demanding as love.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“The sinners to whom Jesus directed His messianic ministry were not those who skipped morning devotions or Sunday church. His ministry was to those whom society considered real sinners. They had done nothing to merit salvation. Yet they opened themselves to the gift that was offered them. On the other hand, the self-righteous placed their trust in the works of the Law and closed their hearts to the message of grace.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“The beauty of the ragamuffin gospel lies in the insight it offers into Jesus: the essential tenderness of His heart, His way of looking at the world, His mode of relating to you and me. If you really want to understand a man, don’t just listen to what he says, but watch what he does.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the Kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever. If you reject the ragamuffin gospel and turn your back on Christianity, do so because you find the answers of Jesus incredible, blasphemous, or hopelessly hopeful.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“I have been seized by the power of a great affection.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“Those who have the disease called Jesus will never be cured.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“Charles de Foucauld, the found of the Little Brothers of Jesus, wrote a single sentence that’s had a profound impact on my life. He said, The one thing we owe absolutely to God is never to be afraid of anything. Never to be afraid of anything, even death, which, after all, is but that final breakthrough into the open, waiting, outstretched arms of Abba.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“Assured of your salvation by the unique grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is the heartbeat of the gospel, joyful liberation from fear of the Final Outcome, a summons to self-acceptance, and freedom for a life of compassion toward others.”
– Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

“The most important lesson that were supposed to be learning right now is how completely lost we are without God. If we don’t learn this lesson, then our lives are going to have zero meaning. (Stronger: Forty Days of Metal and Spirituality)”
– Brian Head Welch

“We do know that no person can be saved except through Christ. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved by Him.”
– C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“The Bible is the greatest of all books; to study it is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.”
– Charles C. Ryrie

“Newspapers are the Bibles of worldlings. How diligently they read them! Here they find their law and profits, their judges and chronicles, their epistles and revelations.”
– Charles H. Spurgeon

“I take leave to contradict those who say that salvation is an evolution! All that ever can be evolved out of the sinful heart of man is sin-and nothing else! Salvation is the free gift of God, by Jesus Christ, and the work of it is supernatural. It is done by the Lord Himself, and He has power to do it, however weak, no, however dead in sin, the sinner may be!”
– Charles H. Spurgeon

“Anything under Gods control is never out of control.”
– Charles R. Swindoll

“Jesus was a pacifist.”
– Chris Hedges

“At least two important conservative thinkers, Ayn Rand and Leo Strauss, were unbelievers or nonbelievers and in any case contemptuous of Christianity. I have my own differences with both of these savants, but is the Republican Party really prepared to disown such modern intellectuals as it can claim, in favor of a shallow, demagogic and above all sectarian religiosity? Perhaps one could phrase the same question in two further ways. At the last election, the GOP succeeded in increasing its vote among American Jews by an estimated five percentage points. Does it propose to welcome these new adherents or sympathizers by yelling in the tones of that great Democrat bigmouth William Jennings Bryan? By insisting that evolution is only a theory? By demanding biblical literalism and by proclaiming that the Messiah has already shown himself? If so, it will deserve the punishment for hubris that is already coming its way. (The punishment, in other words, that Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson believed had struck America on Sept. 11, 2001. How can it be that such grotesque characters, calling down divine revenge on the workers in the World Trade Center, are allowed a respectful hearing, or a hearing at all, among patriotic Republicans?) ”
– Christopher Hitchens
