"Knowledge is the power of the mind, wisdom is the power of the soul."

Julie Shannahan

Living the Christian Life & Faith

"The Christian is not one who has gone all the way with Christ, None of us has? The Christian is one who has found the right road."

Christian Quote by - Charles L. Allen

"It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced."

Christian Quote by - William Barclay

"We must always be on guard lest, under the pretext of keeping one commandment, we be found breaking another."

Christian Quote by - Basil the Great

"The essence of Christianity consists therein: that the creation of the Father, destroyed by sin, is again restored in the death of the Son of God and recreated by the grace of the Holy Spirit to a Kingdom of God."

Christian Quote by - Herman Bavinck

"I like to hear a man dwell much on the same essentials of Christianity. For we have but one God, and one Christ, and one faith to preach; and I will not preach another Gospel to please men with variety, as if our Saviour and our Gospel had grown stale."

Christian Quote by - Richard Baxter

"Christian: One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbors."

Christian Quote by - Ambrose Bierce

"Authentic Christianity never destroys what is good. It makes it grow, transfigures it, and enriches itself from it."

Christian Quote by - Claire H. Bishop

"Once I was a slave but now I am a son, once I was dead but now I am alive; once I was darkness but now I am light in the Lord, once I was a child of wrath; an heir of hell, but now I am an heir of heaven; once I was Satan's bond-servant but now I am God's freeman, once I was under the spirit of bondage but now I am under the spirit of adoption that seals up to me the remission of my sins; the justification of my person and the salvation of my soul."

Christian Quotes by - Thomas Brooks

"If you would have a clear evidence that little love, that little faith, that little zeal, you have is true? Then live up to that love, live up to that faith, live up to that zeal that you have; and this will be evidence beyond all contradiction."

Christian Quotes by - Thomas Brooks

"There never was found in any age of the world, either philosopher or sect, or law, or discipline which did so highly exalt the public good as the Christian faith."

Christian Quote by - Francis Brown

"We have been adopted as sons by the Lord with this one condition; that our life expresses Christ, the bond of our adoption. Accordingly, unless we give and devote ourselves to righteousness, we not only revolt from our Creator with wicked perfidy, but we also abjure our Savior Himself."

Christian Quote by - John Calvin

"At least five times, with the Arian and the Albigensian, with the Humanist skeptic, after Voltaire and after Darwin, the Christian Faith has to all appearance, gone to the dogs? But, in each of these five cases, it was the dog that died."

Christian Quote by - Gilbert K. Chesterton

"How blessed and amazing are God's gifts, dear friends! Life with immortality, splendor with righteous, truth with confidence, faith with assurance, self-control with holiness! And all these things are within our comprehension."

Christian Quote by - Clement of Rome

"Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a living presence."

Christian Quote by - Samuel T. Coleridge

"People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be. If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are."

Christian Quote by - Meister Eckhart

"If a person is what the world calls an honest moral man, if he deals justly, and is now and then good natured, and gives to the poor, and receives the sacrament once or twice a year, and is outwardly sober and honest - the world looks upon such a man as a true Christian. There are many like this who go on in a round of duties and performances, who think they shall go to heaven. But if you examine them, you will find that though they have a 'Christ in their heads,' they have no 'Christ in their hearts.'"

Christian Quotes by - Jonathan Edwards

"I resolve to endeavor to my utmost to act and think as if I had already seen the happiness of heaven and the torments of hell."

Christian Quotes by - Jonathan Edwards

"Christianity finds all its doctrines stated in the Bible, and Christianity denies no part, nor attempts to add anything to the Word of God."

Christian Quote by - William F. (Billy) Graham Jr.

"The only reason any one should believe Christianity; is for the mere fact -- that it is true. The truth of Christianity rest on historical facts which do not change, truths which are open to tests normally applied to other events or claims.

"It is not a matter of whether it sells or whether it works or whether it feels good or provides meaningful experiences. What Christianity teaches is the correct explanation of reality."

Christian Quote by - Dick Halverson

"To be in Christ is the source of the Christian life; to be like Christ is the sum of his excellence; to be with Christ is the fullness of his joy."

Christian Quote by - Charles Hodge

"What can the world offer you without Jesus? To be without Jesus is hell on most grievous, to be with Jesus is to know the sweetness of heaven. If Jesus is with you, no enemy can harm you.

"Whoever finds Jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. He who loses Jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. Poorest of all is he who lives without Jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with Jesus."

Christian Quotation by - Thomas à Kempis

"Wherever man may stand, whatever he may do, to whatever he may apply his hand, in agriculture, in commerce, and in industry, or his mind, in the world of art, and science he is, in whatsoever it may be, constantly standing before the face of God, he is employed in the service of his God, he has strictly to obey his God, and above all, he has to aim at the glory of his God."

Christian Quote by - Abraham Kuyper

"Christianity does not consist in any partial amendment of our lives, any particular moral virtues, but in an entire change of our natural temper, a life wholly devoted to God."

Christian Quote by - William Law

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be; is moderately important."

Christian Quote by - Clive S. Lewis

"If we do not die to ourselves, we cannot live to God, and he that does not live to God, is dead."

Christian Quote by - George MacDonald

"Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence."

Christian Quote by - Jaques Maritain

"The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate."

Christian Quotation by - David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"We who formerly delighted in fornication, but now embrace chastity alone; we who formerly used magical arts, dedicated ourselves to the good and unbegotten God, who valued above all things the acquisition of wealth and possessions.

"Now bring what we have into common stock, and communicate to everyone in need; we who hated and destroyed one another, and on account of their different tribe, now since the coming of Christ, live familiarly with them, and pray for our enemies, and endeavor to persuade those who hate us unjustly, to the end that they may become partakers of the same joyful hope of a reward from God the ruler of all."

Christian Quotation by - Justin Martyr

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ can make bad men good and good men better, can alter human nature, and can change human lives."

Christian Quotation by - David O. McKay

"The young Christian must realize that the test of his religious life is what he is and what he does when he is not on his knees in prayer, not reading his Bible, not listening to great preachers and not participating in religious meetings."

Christian Quotation by - Dr. John Meigs

"Christianity is different from all other religions? They deal with the story of man's search for God. The Gospels deals with the story of God's search for man."

Christian Quotation by - Dewi Morgan

"I am persuaded, a broken and a contrite spirit, a conviction of our vileness and nothingness, connected with a cordial Gospel, is the highest attainment we can reach in life."

Christian Quotation by - John Newton

"A wise man had said that your Christian life is like a three-legged stool. The legs are doctrine, experience and practice, which is obedience; and you, will not stay upright unless all three are there. In recent years many Christians have not kept these three together."

Christian Quotation by - James I. Packer

"The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small." John Piper

Christian Quotation by - John Piper

"As followers of Christ, we must remember always to build our defense of the Christian faith on the sure foundation of the Bible. If we do so, there will be no weight too great to be supported; no wind too strong to be resisted."

Christian Quotation by - Richard Pratt Jr.

"First I believe it to be a grave mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense inn it."

Christian Quotation by - Dorothy Sayers

"This is not an age in which to be a soft Christian."

Christian Quotation by - Francis Schaeffer

"The Gospel is not presented to mankind as an argument about religious principals. Nor is it offered as a philosophy of life. Christianity is a witness to certain facts; to events that have happened, to hopes that have been fulfilled, to realities that have been experienced, to a Person who has lived and died and been raised from the dead to reign forever."

Christian Quotation by - Massey H. Shepherd

"While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up a solid round stone from the water and broke it open. It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the western world?

For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism."

Christian Quotation by - Sadhu S. Singh

"Christianity is warfare, and Christians are spiritual soldiers."

Christian Quotation by - Robert Southwell

"We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about."

Christian Quotations by - Robert C. Sproul

"We are called to live in the presence of God, under the authority of God and to the glory of God."

Christian Quotations by - Robert C. Sproul

"The distinguishing mark of a Christian is his confidence in the love of Christ, and the yielding of his affections to Christ in return."

Christian Quotations by - Charles H. Spurgeon

"Some Christians nowadays have a "butterfly Christianity?" When time, and strength, and thought, and talent are all spent upon mere amusement, what else are men and women but mere butterflies?"

Christian Quotations by - Charles H. Spurgeon

"If you take Christ out of Christianity, Christianity is dead. If you remove grace out of the gospel, the gospel is gone. If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it."

Christian Quotations by - Charles H. Spurgeon

"Christ cannot live His life today in this world without our mouth, without our eyes, without our going and coming, without our heart. When we love, it is Christ loving through us."

Christian Quotation by - Cardinal Suenens

"The course of your life will speak more for you than the discourse of your lips"

Christian Quotation by - George Swinnock

"Christianity does not remove you from the world and its problems; it makes you fit to live in it, triumphantly and usefully."

Christian Quotation by - Charles Templeton

"Christianity is not a system of philosophy, nor a ritual, nor a code of laws; it is the impartation of a divine vitality. Without the way there is no going, without the truth there is no knowing, without life there is no living."

Christian Quotation by - Merrill Tenney

"I think back to many discussions in my early life when we all agreed that if you try to take the fruits of Christianity without its roots, the fruits will wither. And they will not come again unless you nurture the roots. But we must not profess the Christian faith and go to church simply because we want social reforms and benefits or a better standard of behavior.

But because we accept the sanctity of life, the responsibility that comes with freedom and the supreme sacrifice of Christ expressed so well in the hymn: 'When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died. My richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride.'"

Christian Quotation by - Margaret Thatcher

"Though we as Christians are like Christ, having the first fruits of the spirit, yet we are unlike him, having the remainders of the flesh."

Christian Quotation by - Thomas Watson

"The trouble with some of us is that we have been inoculated with small doses of Christianity which keep us from catching the real thing."

Christian Quotation by - Leslie D. Weatherhead

"Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship of love expressed toward God and men."

Christian Quotation by - Sherwood E. Wirt
