Jesus Christ spent His life going places He wasn’t supposed to go, with people He wasn’t supposed to be with, and saying things He wasn’t supposed to say. He was irreligious. Just ask the Pharisees. While they were being religious, He was engaging lost people where they lived! ~Victor Lee

In this post-modern era, people don’t ask if you can prove it; they ask if you can live it. ~Alvin Reid

Our culture is religious, but it’s not righteous. ~Alvin Reid

When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor. ~Basil the Great

Bread for myself is a material question.
Bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one.
~Nicholas Berdyaev

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town.
I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.
My family and I could have made an impact on our town.
Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Jesus is Lord!

"When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor. ~Basil the Great ..."

St. Basil the Great
Bishop of Caesarea, and one of the most distinguished Doctors of the Church. Born probably 329; died 1 January, 379. He ranks after Athanasius as a defender of the Oriental Church against the heresies of the fourth century. With his friend Gregory of Nazianzus and his brother Gregory of Nyssa, he makes up the trio known as "The Three Cappadocians", far outclassing the other two in practical genius and actual achievement.

I love the part about "practical" genius and "actual" achievement.

Your Sister in Christ,
Dr. Bon Vie/"Sylvia"

Satan's power and satan's success are not in spite of God, but because of God. If you can draw that distinction, you will be greatly helped. Satan's power is not in spite of God, but because of God. God is allowing it. It is under the sovereignty of God. God is simply drawing it out, extending it, and when the cup of iniquity is full, then God will come in and show how overwelming He is.

Either He is Lord OF all, or He's not Lord AT all. ~Chip Brogden

Salvation is the narrow gate - coming into the fullness of Christ is the
narrow path. The gate is only the entrance to something larger. ~Chip Brogden

"Christians don't tell lies, they sing them."
A.W. Tozer

 

[jiggyfly]

"Do not listen to complaints against an elder unless there are two or three witnesses to accuse him. *Anyone who sins should be rebuked in front of the whole church so that others will have a proper fear of God.
*I solemnly command you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus and the holy angels to obey these instructions without taking sides or showing special favor to anyone. Never be in a hurry about appointing an elder. Do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure."

Paul of Tarsus

"Christian: One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual need of his neighbor. One who follows the teachings of Christ in so far as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin."

Why Revival Tarries

 

[jiggyfly]

One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.
