“The Christian churches and Christianity have nothing in common save in name: they are utterly hostile opposites. The churches are arrogance, violence, usurpation, rigidity, death; Christianity is humility, penitence, submissiveness, progress, life.” ChristianNamesChurchCommonChristianityProgressViolenceHumilityOppositesChristian LifeArroganceHostileRigidityChristian ChurchUsurpationPenitence Author:Leo Tolstoy
“The Christian knows to serve the weak not because they deserve it but because God extended his love to us when we deserved the opposite. Christ came down from heaven, and whenever his disciples entertained dreams of prestige and power he reminded them that the greatest is the one who serves. The ladder of power reaches up, the ladder of grace reaches down.” KnowsDreamChristianHeavenChristGraceDeserveWeakOppositesDiscipleHis LoveLaddersPrestige Book:What's So Amazing about Grace?
