“Every one ought to study the Bible with two ends in view: his own growth in knowledge and grace, and passing it on to others. We ought to have four ears,- two for ourselves, and two for other people. My Bible is worth a good deal to me because I have so many passages marked that, if I am called upon to speak at any time, I am ready. We ought to be prepared to pass around heavenly thoughts and truths, just as we do the coin of the realm.” PeopleIfsTwoEndsChristianSpeakGrowthViewsDealsStudyGraceFourReadyOughtEarsPreparedPassingPassingsRealmsHeavenlyPassagesBe PreparedCoinsPassing It Book:Talks to Christians Source: Talks to Christians

“the usual attitude of Christians towards Jews is - I hardly know whether to say more impious or more stupid, when viewed in the light of their professed principles. ... They hardly know Christ was a Jew. And I find men, educated, supposing that Christ spoke Greek. To my feeling, this deadness to the history which has prepared half our world for us, this inability to find interest in any form of life that is not clad in the same coat-tails and flounces as our own, lies very close to the worst kind of irreligion.” KnowsMenWorldKindFeelingsLightChristianFormLyingInterestChristHalfAttitudePrinciplesWorstStupidPrejudicePreparedJewEducatedGreekSpokesOur WorldUsualTailsCoatsInabilityFind MeSupposingSupposing ThatIrreligion Author:George Eliot
“Good Christian liturgy is friendship in action, love taking thought, the covenant relationship between God and his people not simply discovered and celebrated like the sudden meeting of friends, exciting and worthwhile though that is, but thought through and relished, planned and prepared -- an ultimately better way for the relationship to grow and at the same time a way of demonstrating what the relationship is all about.” PeopleWayActionChristianGrowsExcitingMeetingsPreparedWorthwhileBetter WaysCovenantGood ChristianDemonstratingLiturgyAction Love Author:N.

“Christians can not truly evangelize unless they are prepared to be evangelized in the process. In sharing the good news, people are enriched by the spiritual insights, honest questions and depth of devotion demonstrated by those of other faiths. Including others involves listening to them, learning from them. Much of what exists in other faiths may not necessarily be hostile to the kingdom. Christians can learn a lot from other walks of life.” PeopleMayChristianSpiritualProcessWalksHonestListeningNewsPreparedDepthIncludingInsightDevotionKingdomsCan NotGood NewsHostileWalks Of LifeSpiritual InsightIncluding Others Author:Eddie Gibbs
