“Even if your body isn’t healthy, your soul overcomes that, it doesn’t even care, it worships anyway, its joyful anyway. That’s what God wants to give you in your life.”
– Lacey Mosley

– Lacey Mosley

“Your soul is the root, its the root of everything. And when He tells you how to handle sex, He made it, its awesome, its beautiful, it has a purpose. And when He tells you how to handle it, there’s a reason He says, This is connected to your soul and if you misuse it, your soul will wilt and will waste away. You can use it how you want to because you have the freedom to do that but in the end I’m telling you how to have the life to the fullest.”
– Lacey Mosley

“Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.”
– Lenny Bruce

“I never thought much about flowers until I made the close acquaintance of a man who knew all about them. You would have thought that the butterflies and flowers were friends of his. See how richly they are clad, he said. Even King Solomon did not have such raiment.”
– Lloyd C. Douglas, The Robe

“Stoning prophets and erecting churches to their memory afterwards has been the way of the world through the ages. Today we worship Christ, but the Christ in the flesh we crucified.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

“At the tattoo parlor, my friend worked with needle and ink applying a design to the skin on his clients back, as the three of us sat discussing our spiritual desires and ambivalence about religion. In the midst of our conversation, the man under the needle turned and said, Jesus is cool, its just that they have f***ed with Jesus. I mean, Christianity was at its best when it was secret and hidden and you could die for it. This profound, if crass, statement recognizes that the power of the gospel lay in its ability to be a counter-cultural and revolutionary force – not only a story to believe, but a distinctive way of life. The mans comment prompted me to consider the questions: Am I in some measure complicit in the domestication of Jesus?”
– Mark Scandrette, Soul Graffiti: Making a Life in the Way of Jesus

“Focus on relationships in your communities and God will come up spiritual conversations will emerge and real needs will come to light.”
– Matt Smay

“The Bible is the story of two gardens: Eden and Gethsemane. In the first, Adam took a fall. In the second, Jesus took a stand. In the first, God sought Adam. In the second, Jesus sought God. In Eden, Adam hid from God. In Gethsemane, Jesus emerged from the tomb. In Eden, Satan led Adam to a tree that led to his death. From Gethsemane, Jesus went to a tree that led to our life.”
– Max Lucado

“Jesus tends to his people individually. He personally sees to our needs. We all receive Jesus touch. We experience his care.”
– Max Lucado, Experiencing the Heart of Jesus Workbook: Knowing His Heart, Feeling His Love

“The gospel of submission, commitment, decision, and victorious living is not good news about what God has achieved but a demand to save ourselves with God’s help. Besides the fact that Scripture never refers to the gospel as having a personal relationship with Jesus nor defines faith as a decision to ask Jesus to come into our heart, this concept of salvation fails to realize that everyone has a personal relationship with God already: either as a condemned criminal standing before a righteous judge or as a justified coheir with Christ and adopted child of the Father.”
– Michael S. Horton

“What we believe about God is the most important truth we believe, and its the one truth that does the most to shape us. God is the Sun too bright for us to see. Jesus is the Prism who makes the colors beautiful and comprehensible.”
– Michael Spencer, Mere Churchianity: Finding Your Way Back to Jesus-Shaped Spirituality

“It is rare to find an established community of Christians that encourages radical expressions of following Jesus. The natural conservatism of institutions is deeply rooted in the desire to survive, and that desire colors and limits the way they read the Bible and how they see God functioning in the world.”
– Michael Spencer, Mere Churchianity: Finding Your Way Back to Jesus-Shaped Spirituality

“I see the Christian world like this: we’ve inherited a divided map of the truth, and each of us has a piece. Our traditions teach us that no one else has a valid map and that our own church’s piece shows us all the terrain and roads that exist. In fact, there is much more terrain, more roads, and more truth for us to see if we can accept and read one another’s maps, fitting them together to give us a clearer picture of the larger Christian tradition.”
– Michael Spencer, Mere Churchianity: Finding Your Way Back to Jesus-Shaped Spirituality

“Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him?”
– Mother Teresa, In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories and Prayers

“When we learn to read the story of Jesus and see it as the story of the love of God, doing for us what we could not do for ourselves that insight produces, again and again, a sense of astonished gratitude which is very near the heart of authentic Christian experience.”
– N.T. Wright

“Jesus resurrection is the beginning of Gods new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lords Prayer is about.”
– N.T. Wright, Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church

“Our task as image-bearing, God-loving, Christ-shaped, Spirit-filled Christians, following Christ and shaping our world, is to announce redemption to a world that has discovered its fallenness, to announce healing to a world that has discovered its brokenness, to proclaim love and trust to a world that knows only exploitation, fear and suspicion…The gospel of Jesus points us and indeed urges us to be at the leading edge of the whole culture, articulating in story and music and art and philosophy and education and poetry and politics and theology and evenheaven help usBiblical studies, a worldview that will mount the historically-rooted Christian challenge to both modernity and postmodernity, leading the way…with joy and humor and gentleness and good judgment and true wisdom. I believe if we face the question, if not now, then when? if we are grasped by this vision we may also hear the question, if not us, then who? And if the gospel of Jesus is not the key to this task, then what is?”
– N.T. Wright, The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is

“Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!”
– Neal A. Maxwell

“Judas sold his soul for thirty pieces of silver; Faust sold his for some extra years of youth; Marilyn Monroe deserted Jesus Christ for Arthur Miller.”
– Nicholas Samstag, The Uses of Ineptitude or How Not To Want To Do Better

“If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not a little bit of love, but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God. ”
– Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest: Traditional Updated Edition

“Who was the greatest business man ever. . . The greatest salesman? Advertiser? Who? . . . It was Jesus. . . Jesus was the founder of modern business. . . he picked up twelve men from the bottom ranks of business and forged them into an organization that conquered the world!”
– P. Harding, Tinkers

“We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.”
– Peter Kreeft, Jesus-Shock

“If your life is Christ, then your death will be only more of Christ, forever. If your life is only Christlessness, then your death will be only more Christlessness, forever. That’s not fundamentalism, that’s the law of non-contradiction.”
– Peter Kreeft, Jesus-Shock

“Those who meet Jesus always experience either joy or its opposites, either foretastes of Heaven or foretastes of Hell. Not everyone who meets Jesus is pleased, and not everyone is happy, but everyone is shocked.”
– Peter Kreeft, Jesus-Shock

“Power, no matter how well-intentioned, tends to cause suffering. Love, being vulnerable, absorbs it. In a point of convergence on a hill called Calvary, God renounced the one for the sake of the other.”
– Philip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew

“I want an avowed atheist in the White House. When time comes to push that button, I want whoever’s making the decision to understand that once its pushed, its over. Finito. They’re not gonna have lunch with Jesus. Wont be deflowering 72 virgins on the great shag carpet of eternity, or reincarnated as a cow. I want someone making that decision who believes life on this Earth isn’t just a dress rehearsal for something better but the only shot we get.”
– Quentin R. Bufogle

“You cant get too far into the Gospels without noticing that Jesus made a pretty lousy apologist.”
– Rachel Held Evans, Evolving in Monkey Town: How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Learned to Ask the Questions

“Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.”
– Rich Mullins

“Jesus was not content to derive his ethics from the scriptures of his upbringing. He explicitly departed from them. [...] Since a principal thesis of this chapter is that we do not, and should not, derive our morals from scripture, Jesus has to be honoured as a model for that very thesis.”
– Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
