It is always the case that when the Christian looks back, he is looking at the forgiveness of sins.

It may be that when the angels go about their task praising God, they play only Bach. I am sure, however, that when they are together en famille they play Mozart.

Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.

Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.

The best theology would need no advocates; it would prove itself.

Whether the angels play only Bach praising God, I am not quite sure. I am sure, however, that en famille they play Mozart.

Faith is never identical with piety.

Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.

No one can be saved - in virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved - in virtue of what God can do.

Men have never been good, they are not good and they never will be good.

Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace.

Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.

Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.

Jews have God's promise and if we Christians have it, too, then it is only as those chosen with them, as guests in their house, that we are new wood grafted onto their tree.

In the Church of Jesus Christ there can and should be no non-theologians.

What God chooses for us children of men is always the best.

Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.

It is always the case that when the Christian looks back, he is looking at the forgiveness of sins.

Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life.

Impossibility is more possible than everything which we hold to be possible.

Holy Communion is offered to all as surely as the living Jesus Christ is for all as surely as all of us are not divided in him but belong together as brothers and sisters all of us poor sinners all of us rich through his mercy. Amen.

The Devil may also make use of morality.

Man can certainly flee from God but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.

No one can be saved in virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved in virtue of what God can do.

True theology is an actual determination and claiming of man by the acting God.

Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.

The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

No civilization other than that which is Christian, is worth seeking or possessing.

I feel that Christian music is a subculture directed towards the Christians. It's not really being exposed to non-Christians and it's not really created for non-Christians, so non-Christians almost never hear any of this music.

There are any number of people who profess to be good Christian people who are willing to believe all kinds of things on suspicion. Now that is not the way the Bible directs for Christian people to do.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

Every Christian will allow that sin is an evil, and that it is our duty not to commit sin.

War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it.

From a Christian point of view of course we do want a peaceful world, and I think September 11 did actually make people aware not only of vulnerability and how transitory life is, but there are forces of good and honor and justice which speak to us of God and his love for us.

It bothers me to know there is the possibility that I as a Christian would be not only an underdog, but that I would be trodden upon if I claimed that I was a Christian.

I was raised a Christian, but I wouldn't call myself a Christian now. I think when I was younger it was easier to focus on the negative, nihilist vision... this is sort of picking up on the other half of the body, which is God and white light.

We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job.

We'll surely stop the work of all western Christian and eastern religions, and also Islam.

I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way.

What makes you a Christian is whether or not you really are in accord with biblical theology and whether you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour.

A Christian has no right being in a fight unless it's a spiritual fight.

I believed that English-speaking people had a divine mission to civilize the world by making it western, democratic and Christian.

We don't hire ministers or priests to teach and care for us. This forces us to teach and care for each other - and in my view, this is the core of Christian living as Christ taught it.

Spreading the news is your duty as a Christian, and there are many ways to do this.

The name of Jesus, like a secret charm, awakened similar emotions in the hearts of all the converts, and called immediately into action every feeling of moral loveliness, and every desire of dutiful obedience, which constitute Christian purity.

So finally I came up with a thing that felt really pure, and I'm Christian, so when I hear about death I have a lot of hope because I believe in Jesus and life after death, and John 3:16.

It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them, and how they stand related to beliefs of another order.

Scratch the Christian and you find the pagan - spoiled.

So many Christian leaders have been so tepid or downright silent on the advance of the homosexual agenda.
