A Christian revival is under way in Britain — Justin Brierley, The Spectator
I studied Christianity with the hope of debunking it
— Julie Hannah, Christianity Today
May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
—The Book of Common Prayer
“Whatever ember of love for goodness flickers within us, however feeble or small… that’s what the Spirit works with, until that spark glows warmer and brighter. From the tiniest beginning, our whole lives—our whole hearts, minds, souls, and strength—can be set aflame with love for God.”
― B. McLaren, We make the road by walking
OUR LIFELINE
The Bible is the rope God throws us in order to ensure that we stay connected while the rescue is in progress.
— J.I. Packer, Christianity Today
“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each [person] which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.”
—Blaise Pascal, French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and theologian.
“Historically, the Church tends to take the greatest promises of Scripture and put them off into a period of time for which we have no responsibility. Jesus commanded His followers to do things that they might have impact now. His assignment to His followers was always to bring transformation to their immediate surroundings."
— B. Johnson, The Way of Life: Experiencing the Culture of Heaven on Earth
