STAY WHIMSICAL.

The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives. – Francis Chan

This is the promise that empowers us to take risks for the sake of Christ. It is not the impulse of heroism, or the lust for adventure, or the courage of self-reliance, or the need to earn God’s favor. It is simple trust in Christ—that in him God will do everything necessary so that we can enjoy making much of him forever. – John Piper

I believe there are too many practitioners in the church who are not believers. – C.S. Lewis

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus. – Blaise Pascal

The universe was created for this—making much of Christ. – John Piper

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. – C.S. Lewis

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. – C.S. Lewis

Christianity happens when men and women accept with unwavering trust that their sins have been not only forgiven, but forgotten, washed away in the blood of the Lamb. Thus, my friend archbishop Joe Reia says, “A sad Christian is a phony Christian, and a guilty Christian is no Christian at all.” – Brennan Manning

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. – Martin Luther King Jr.

Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves. – Blaise Pascal

When we Christians behave badly, or fail to behave well, we are making Christianity unbelievable to the outside world. – C.S. Lewis

God looks at you as if you were a little Christ: Christ stands beside you to turn you into one. – C.S. Lewis

If you’re approaching Him [God] not as the goal but as a road, not as the end but as a means, you’re not really approaching Him at all. – C.S. Lewis

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

This is what we live for, and die for: to make much of Jesus Christ and his glorious, universe-encompassing kingdom. The heart cry of our lives, young and old, men and women, rich and poor, is the glory of Jesus Christ so that with full courage now as always Christ might be honored in our bodies, whether by life or by death. – John Piper (emphasis taken from Philippians 1:20-21)

I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity. – C.S. Lewis

This is the promise that empowers us to take risks for the sake of Christ. It is not the impulse of heroism, or the lust for adventure, or the courage of self-reliance, or the need to earn God’s favor. It is simple trust in Christ—that in him God will do everything necessary so that we can enjoy making much of him forever. – John Piper

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ. – Billy Graham

I always found it odd that when Christians talk about desiring to know the deep things of God, they usually mean growing in their knowledge of the Bible. The deep things of God are never academic; they are always intimate. The deep things of God can only be discovered by love. They can only be known by love. We all want the mind of God, but what we need is the heart of God. – Erwin Rapheal McManus, The Genius of Jesus

Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered. – C.S. Lewis

If natural selection means the survival of the fittest and the sacrifice of the weakest, Christianity is about the sacrifice of the Fittest (Jesus Christ) for the survival of the weakest (us). – Glen Scrivener
