Somehow the idea has gotten around that it is unchristian to take a stand against heresy. Some of us need to read the New Testament again.

Some ministers preach from notes and some don't. They have argued about it for centuries. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Two Welsh preachers were on their way to a meeting. One noticed that the other carried written outlines. 'Ah,' he remonstrated, 'you cannot carry fire on paper.' 'True,' replied his companion, 'but you can use paper to start a fire!'

The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.

If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.

Every Christian is a priest, not offering a sacrifice for sins - since that has been done once and for all - but offering his person, praise and possessions.

Where are the marks of the cross in your life? Are there any points of identification with your Lord? Alas, too many Christians wear medals but carry no scars.

We need to take down our "Do not disturb" signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.
