i'm editing a weekly brochure for my local church... and we're celebrating easter this Sunday (yeah it's one week later, but that's the way here in Romania)
i was wondering if anyone knew of some nice quotes on the resurrection, preferably more than just one phrase (1,2 paragraphs)

thanks in advance

There is an ocean of difference between repeating what you have heard and speaking of what you have experienced. (Chip Brogden)

"Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can." - John Wesley

Religion as culture and what emerges is a religious culture. People
learn to be "Christians" like they learn to be Americans or Chinese or
what ever cultural group they happen to belong to. They learn the
beliefs, words, behaviors and activities that go with that particular
brand of religion. The results are multitudes of religious people who
appear to be Christians, but are complete strangers to the new birth.

Phil Enlow

"If you seek church, you will lose The Kingdom. And I'm not talking here about our inheritance in eternity, but the possession which God has given us to bring to the earth in this life. Church as an agenda or a goal clouds and confuses the simplicity of that purpose and the goal which we are (still) here on earth for. "Church" - when it is our agenda - becomes a third Kingdom, a kingdom which hinders the perspective and penetration of one Kingdom (the Kingdom of God) and with its self interests and agenda of self preservation, unwittingly serves the Kingdom we are called to withstand - The Kingdom of this world." Alan Richardson

You examine the Scriptures carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about me. But you are not willing to come to me to have life. - Jesus Christ

[1]Destiny may be written in the sands of time, but YaHWeH allows man to add the punctuation's.


[2]As a sailboat in a windless channel is at the mercy of the currents; so is the heart of man without YaHWeH (God).


[3]Where there is Truth, their is Life; all according to its purpose and origin.


[4]A friend who listens is a master of many languages.

i m not sure if that one was written or not, but i really like it, its by cs lewis: if we descover a desier within us that nothing in this world could satisfy, then we should begin to think that we belong to an other world.

"Riches have made more covetous men than covetousness has made rich men." Thomas Fuller

"Lord, thy gifts are, in respect to thy goodness and free favor, made common to all men. We through our haughtiness... and distrust do make them private and peculiar. Correct thou the thing which our iniquity hath put out of order, and let thy goodness supply that which our niggardliness hath plucked away." Elizabeth I of England

When I was young I was sure of everything; in a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before; at present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me. - John Wesley
