“We're comfortable financially, so it wasn't a financial issue that I voted Conservative. Basically, it was for the same reason we voted for Diefenbaker. First it was Mackenzie King, then St. Laurent -- Christ, the Liberals were in something like 20 years in a row (22 actually) --and we simply needed a change. It was getting like a dictatorship. Whether elected or not, that's not good for the country. I didn't go to war for a dictatorship.” YearsFirstsWarCountryReasonChristIssuesKingsNeededComfortableFinancialConservativeDictatorship Author:Don Drysdale
“Christ's miracles were vivid manifestations to the senses that He is the Saviour of the body--and now as then the issues of life and death are in His hands--that our daily existence is a perpetual miracle. The extraordinary was simply a manifestation of God's power in the ordinary.” BodyHandsChristExistenceIssuesOrdinaryMiracleExtraordinarySensesManifestationLife And DeathPerpetualVividSaviour Book:Sermons Source: Sermons
“Had He not emerged from the tomb all our hopes, all our salvation would be lying dead with Him unto this day. But as we see Him issue from the grave we see ourselves issue with Him in newness of life. Now we know that His shoulders were strong enough to bear the burden that was laid upon them, and that He is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God through Him. The resurrection of Christ is thus the indispensable evidence of His completed work, His accomplished redemption.” KnowsEnoughWould BeAbleLyingStrongChristIssuesBearsEvidenceSalvationBurdenGravesShouldersRedemptionAccomplishedThis DayResurrectionIndispensableEasterStrong EnoughTombsNewnessNewness Of LifeCompleted Work Author:B.

“When you're facing all the issues of life and you don't know what to do, accept the fact that you are human. We all are. We don't have the capacity to understand Almighty God. But you know what? We know Jesus Christ. He's the wisdom of God. And He put His Holy Spirit in us. So having access to the Holy Spirit and Jesus, we can face the challenges of today with the wisdom of God.” KnowsHumansFactsTodayFacesSpiritJesusChristChallengesAcceptingIssuesHolyJesus ChristCapacityAccessHoly SpiritAlmightyFollowing JesusAlmighty God Author:David Jeremiah
“Christ is already in that place of peace, which is all in all. He is on the right hand of God. He is hidden in the brightness of the radiance which issues from the everlasting throne. He is in the very abyss of peace, where there is no voice of tumult or distress, but a deep stillness--stillness, that greatest and most awful of all goods which we can fancy; that most perfect of joys, the utter profound, ineffable tranquillity of the Divine Essence. He has entered into His rest. That is our home; here we are on a pilgrimage, and Christ calls us to His many mansions which He has prepared.” HomeHandsJoyVoiceChristPerfectIssuesDivineEssencePreparedProfoundAwfulFancyGoodsStillnessDistressThronesAbyssEverlastingBrightnessPilgrimageMansionsRadianceHands Of GodIneffableTranquillityAscensionTumultPlaces Of Peace Book:Parochial and Plain Sermons Source: Parochial and Plain Sermons
“The basic question 'will I obey Christ 's teaching?' is rarely taken as a serious issue. For example, to take one of Jesus' commands, that is relevant to contemporary life, I don't know of any church that actually teaches a church how to bless people who curse them, yet this is a clear command.” PeopleKnowsJesusChristChurchTeachIssuesTakenClearTeachingExampleSeriousContemporaryCommandCurseBlessRelevantSerious IssuesContemporary Life Author:Dallas Willard
“On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this Supreme Being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly.” PeopleShouldLittlesUseUsedJesusNamesBeliefChristReligiousPowerfulIssuesPositionWeaponsJesus ChristClaimsDebateSupremeCompromiseAlliesBehalfReligious BeliefSupreme BeingPowerful WeaponsNo Compromise Author:Barry Goldwater
