Favorite Christian Quotations

There is such a down to earth honesty in the New Testament writings. My favorites are Paul rebuking Peter openly then afterward he said one should first rebuke another privately and there is Paul and Barnabus splitting up because they couldn't agree about Mark. These were real people with real victories, defeats and weaknesses like ourselves. They did not make things up because they loved the truth and most died for telling.
- Robert Mallord
I suspect that most of the individuals who have religious faith are content with blind faith. They feel no obligation to understand what they believe. They may even wish not to have their beliefs disturbed by thought. But if God in whom they believe created them with intellectual and rational powers, that imposes upon them the duty to try to understand the creed of their religion. Not to do so is to verge on superstition.
- Mortimer J. Adler
There was a day when I died, utterly died.  Died to George Muller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will — died to the world, its approval or censure — died to the approval or blame of even my brethren and friends — and since then I have studied to show myself approved only unto God.
- George Muller
 The Christian life is Christ living His life through us today.  We can't do it ourselves, nor can we do it by the Law.
- J. Vernon McGee
