Christ was crucified once, but his teachings suffer crucifixion every day at the hands of men of limited vision. Christ’s teachings cannot be understood just by reading the Bible…but by living and trying out in everyday life the principles taught in the book.
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"The Poisonwood Bible"
God is taking a nap within my soul. I ponder whether to wake Him or not.
-Harley King
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
God is a cloud from which rain fell.
-Dejan Stojanović
Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed.
-Robert H. Schuller
Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name.
By the cross we, too, are crucified with Christ; but alive in Christ. We are no more rebels, but servants; no more servants, but sons!
Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Without God, life is like a school without a teacher. It is a wire with no current passing through it; it is a body with no soul.
