Perception of ideas, rather than the storing of them, should be the aim of education.

You win them to what you win them with.

The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.

Shall it be a religion or shall it be Christ? Shall it be churchianity or shall it be Jesus Christ? Shall it be pride or shall it be humility in Jesus Christ?

One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.

The only Christian you want to listen to is the one who gives you more of a hunger for God.

Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.
