When all is said and done, the supreme need of the Church is the same in the 20th century as in the first — it is men on fire for Christ. I beg you do not commit the fearful blunder of dampening down that flame. —James Stuart Stewart

Christianity is more than a theory about the universe, more than teachings written down on paper; it is a path along which we journey— in the deepest and richest sense, the way of life. —Kallistos Ware

True, biblical freedom comes through finding the right limitations—not getting rid of all limitations.

“The difference between people who happen to live together and families who befriend each other are rhythms of conversation at mealtimes.”

“We go to Scripture because we want to become more like him, and in turn, our children, who are by default becoming more like us, become more like him too.”

The devil is not fighting religion. He’s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it. - Vance Havner

We’ve seen the best version of church that man can build and yet how insufficient it is to meet the hour that we’re in. I think we’ve yet to see, outside of little glimpses in history, the best version of what God can do when He’s invited into the situation. - Sam Gibson

Honor is the call to recognize the value in God and each other, and order our recognition and relationships around it. Honor is the operating system of the kingdom of God.

What’s on your news feed is feeding your mind. The more we are absorbed in celebrity gossip, images of success, violent video games, and troubling news, the more our values are tainted with envy, judgment, competition, and discontent. - @jayshetty

The church is called to live differently than the world. It’s primary authority in all matters of faith, practice, and discipleship is Jesus Christ and the Scriptures that testify of him. Love and the purpose for our desires are defined by God, and no longer by us.

If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world. - C. S. Lewis

Jesus calls us to him to impart himself to us. He does not call us to do what he did, but to be as he was, permeated with love. Then the doing of what he did and said becomes the natural expression of who we are in him.

“Standing in the kingdom, we make responsible decisions in love, with assurance that how things turn out for us does not really matter that much because, in any case, we are in the kingdom of the heavens. In that kingdom nothing than can happen to us is ‘the end of the world.’”

We think life is a straight, linear arrow to success. But’s it’s more like the plot of a literary novel, up and down, ambiguous, rich and meaningful, full of joy and sorrow at the same time.
