“Today, even amongst Christians, there can be found much of that spirit that wants to give as little as possible to the Lord, and yet to get as much as possible from Him. The prevailing thought today is of being used, as though that were the one thing that mattered. That my little rubber band should be stretched to the very limit seems all important. But this is not the Lord's mind. The Lord wants us to be used, yes; but what He is after is that we pour all we have, ourselves, to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.” IfsWantGivingShouldMindLittlesImportantEnoughSeemsTodayChristianUsedSpiritFoundLordOne ThingBandLimitsDiscipleshipWant UPrevailingRubberRubber BandsChristian Discipleship Author:Watchman Nee
“if I hadn't gone to a private Christian school, I'd never have built up enough animosity to want to have started a band. And now that I have one, the fact that they are giving me such resistance and publicity, they have made me far bigger than they'd ever have wanted me to have become. So I guess in a strange way the Christians have influenced me the most.” IfsWayWantGivingMadeEnoughFactsWantedSchoolChristianGoneStrangeBandBuiltBiggerResistancePublicityAnimosityChristian Schools Author:Marilyn Manson
“Later, a large band of Christians mounted an attack on this native lord, butchering him along with vast numbers of his people and taking all the survivors into slavery, where they duly perished, so that today not a trace remains of what was previously a community with dominion over an area of some thirty leagues.” PeopleTodayChristianCommunityNumbersLordAtheismBandAreasSlaveryRemainsLeagueThirtyNativeSurvivorDominion Author:Bartolome de las Casas
“Punk can be a mental ghetto. People get into it and make all these rules and pretty soon they're worse than born again Christians and have stupid three hour conversation about things like, which band is a sellout and is straight edge cool or un-cool and it's just completely idiotic. So punk has taught me the aesthetic of the outsider, which is great, but it's also taught me not to get involved in petty little cults.” PeopleLittlesChristianThreeBornHoursStupidTaughtInvolvedBandConversationEdgesAestheticPunkOutsidersCultPettyGet InvolvedGhettoBorn AgainIdioticStraight Edge Author:Jesse Michaels
“God's righteousness and His unchangeable law make Christianity a stumbling block for many. Organizations and individuals carry a political and moral agenda that aims to remove all obstacles to their sin. Their goal is to 'break God's bands asunder and cast away His cords.' They counsel together to rid themselves of the law of God; anyone who preaches the gospel or stands for righteousness stands in the way of their agenda.” WayChristianTogetherLawPoliticalIndividualGoalReligiousSinMoralChristianityBreakBandOrganizationAimCastsObstaclesBlockRemoveAgendasRighteousnessStumblingCordsUnchangeableStumbling BlocksCast Away Book:Raising the Standard/Reclaiming Your World for God Source: Raising the Standard/Reclaiming Your World for God
