DEEP OR SHALLOW

"Religion is like a swimming pool---all the noise is at the shallow end." theologian William H. Vanstone

LOVE AND LIGHT

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.  -Martin Luther King Jr. 

LIVING THE FAITH

"We must make good people wish that the Christian faith were true, and then show that it is.” ~ Blaise Pascal

OUR CALLING

"Jesus didn't call us to be magnificent chandeliers for people to admire. He called us to be a single bulb in a back hall to keep people from breaking their necks when they go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. He called us to make a difference in the darkness, for doing so makes us significant and gives us impact." ~ Haddon Robinson

ACTIVELY DOING GOD'S WILL

"Being a Christian is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

DEALING WITH THE WORLD

John Wesley

‎""The early Christians did not say in dismay: 'look what the world has come to,' but in delight, 'look what has come to the world.”

OUR WORK

Holy people must stop going into church work as their natural course of action, and take up holy orders in farming, industry, law, education, banking, journalism with the same zeal previously given to evangelism or to pastoral and missionary work. 

-Dallas Willard

INFLUENCE

Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.
                                                                      -  Jim Elliot

DEATH AND RESURRECTION

"A church that can turn death into a celebration....that is the church of Jesus Christ!"
- Tony Campolo
