I just recently discovered a great writer. Reading through his blog, I wanted to share nearly every one. Here are some quotes to whet your appetite:
- “God called. He wants his church back.”
- “Instead of being ‘In the World, but not of it’ we have become the Church who is ‘Of the world, but [not] in it'”.
- “The reason why people are not following Jesus today is because we are not asking people to follow Jesus, we are asking them to become Christians.”
- “It’s not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting; it’s that it has been found difficult and left untried.” – G.K. Chesterton
- “…Churches today are like an eternal school full of people who will never graduate.”
- “My friend posted a list of the Top 10 Most Influential People on American Christianity. Top of the list was Paul the Apostle and tied for last place was Jesus (and John Wesley).”
- “Thousands of people in churches across this nation are ignorant of the basic message of Jesus and the Gospel that he came and died to proclaim.”
- “When Emperor Constantine lifted the persecution of the Church in 313 A.D. it came with a caveat: …the Christian Church would take on the pagan practices of the day, worship in their converted temples and submit to the authority of a select Clergy wearing the robes of pagan priests and adopting the language of paganism.”
