“Churches provide a place of gathering for people who share common beliefs, support and encouragement for each other in faith, a place to find insight into and teaching about God's Word, and they provide a time and place where people can leave the world behind and focus only on their spiritual relationship with God.” PeopleWorldGodChristianSpiritualBeliefChurchReligiousCommonBehindsSupportFocusShareTeachingEncouragementInsightGatheringRelationship With GodSupport And EncouragementSpiritual Relationship Author:Mary C.

“In America most orthodox Christians become defensive or testy when they are asked even to break into a sweat. Most of our efforts up until now have been more symbolic than anything else. We are great at holding conventions, gathering for strategy meetings and seminars, holding congresses on evangelism. But where are the people to run our own antidefamation league?” PeopleHas BeensRunningChristianAmericaReligiousEffortBreakStrategyMeetingsCongressLeagueOrthodoxSweatConventionsGatheringSymbolicEvangelismOrthodox ChristianSeminars Book:Book burning Source: Book burning
“It is easy to follow Christ when all things are safe. But your love to Jesus Christ would be seen more, if you must lose your lives, or deny your Jesus. It would be a trial of your love, when fire and faggot [a wooden stick] was before you, if you would rush into that, rather than fly from the truth as it is in Jesus. Though all things are calm now, the storm is gathering and by and by it will break; it is at present no bigger than a man's hand. But when it is full it will break and then you will see whether you are found Christians or not.” IfsMenHandsWould BeChristianFoundJesusEasyChristLosesBreakFireSafeJesus ChristAll ThingsBiggerSticksCalmDenyStormTrialsGathering Author:George Whitefield
