Quote by Sunday Adelaja

“We call ourselves Protestants, but we have totally departed from the teachings of the early Protestants. Martin Luther, John Wesley and John Calvin would turn in their graves, if they hear the kind of teachings we are now feeding the people of God with.”

“Their tradition began in Martin Luther’s ravishing love affair with the God he met in the Bible. It was a love for which he was willing to sweep aside any tradition or power structure that stood in his way. Since his day, Protestants have pursued that love in radically different ways: individually or through institutions, intellectually or emotionally, tolerantly or violently, calmly or restlessly, apocalyptically or idealistically, working within older traditions or radically rejecting them. Often that old flame has been reduced to a simmer or doused altogether, sometimes it has blazed beyond any control, but it is the same fire. To understand Protestantism’s enormous impact on our world, we need to understand the restless burning it has kindled and rekindled in generations of believers.”

“To outsiders, Protestantism may seem admirable for its role in promoting racial equality and in fighting apartheid, or it may seem culpable for its role in promoting racism and defending injustice. Yet it was only incidentally and temporarily a vehicle for those causes. Protestant movements that become too deeply attached to such social and political issues tend to find that they are running out of steam. Like it or loathe it, the heart of Protestantism’s message is a spiritual one, a message of salvation and of divine power.”

“All the endless unconnected desires clumsily bumped with my fear, exhausted to want anything on this long night, I was weary in the valley of the blue foggy sky. I had been endlessly grinding the ink down on the pages of my destiny trying to rewrite my fate. I took the pages out on every rainy night, allowing them to drench in the downpour of blessings, the black of the ink bled out like long tears of swan but wasn't able to erase the traces of my life. With each defeat, I licked my wounds and sank further into the downward spiral of life. Everything was blinded by the storm, my path engulfed in the rageful wind, and I was lost on a nameless journey.”
