“Without the church it's like having a boat without the rudder. You think you can do it on your own and this may sound pedestrian or trite but I'll equate it to this: all my life I've been involved with exercise but no matter how much - and I know a great deal about the body - you need help. You need a trainer. You need to go to a gym and you need to have the expertise and the guidance of someone else. You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and what the church is. The church is the gym of the soul.” ThinkingKnowsWayNeedsFeelsMaySoulMatterHelpingBodySoundCan DoChurchDealsChristianityInvolvedExerciseTrainBoatGuidanceGymYou Can Do ItExpertiseTrainersNeed HelpPedestriansRudders Author:Sylvester Stallone
“I know people who support Hamas but they never got involved in terrorist attacks, for example... They follow Hamas because they love God and they think that Hamas represents God.

“Religion does a lot of good, especially the loving kind, like at Grace Church. I know people who went to a more liberal kind of Christianity and were happy with that. The problem is, for me, there was a process involved in moving from Pentecostalism to a more liberal theology, like Grace Church. What makes me different is that process didn't stop, and it took me all the way. In the end, I couldn't help feeling that all religion, even the most loving kind, is just a speed bump in the progress of the human race.” PeopleKnowsWayHumansKindDoeDifferentEndsHelpingFeelingsProblemMovingProcessChurchRaceChristianityGraceProgressInvolvedSpeedTheologyHuman RaceBumpsSpeed Bumps Author:Jerry DeWitt
“If Christianity is dull and boring, if it is a burden and not a blessing, then most likely we are involved in a project, not a Person - a system not a Savior, rules rather than a relationship.” IfsPersonsChristianityInvolvedBlessingProjectsBurdenBoringDullSavior Author:Joseph Stowell
“What if one of the core elements of a radical Christianity lay in a demand that we betray it, while the ultimate act of affirming God required the forsaking of God?

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.” IfsKnowsMenInspirationalWellsDeathFriendshipCommunityChristianityPiecesSeaMankindInvolvedEuropeEvery ManTheeIslandsBellsContinentsDiminishInterdependenceTollsGriefingDeath GriefGrief And DeathWhom The Bell TollsCommunity Action Author:John Donne
“Christianity is not just involved with "salvation", but with the total man in the total world. The Christian message begins with the existence of God forever, and then with creation. It does not begin with salvation. We must be thankful for salvation, but the Christian message is more than that. Man has a value because he is made in the image of God.” MenWorldDoeMadeChristianValuesExistenceChristianityForeverCreationInvolvedMessagesSalvationBeing ThankfulGod ImageExistence Of God Book:Art and the Bible Source: Art and the Bible
“During the first formative centuries of its existence, Christianity was separated from and indeed antagonistic to the state, with which it only later became involved. From the lifetime of its founder, Islam was the state, and the identity of religion and government is indelibly stamped on the memories and awareness of the faithful from their own sacred writings, history, and experience.” WritingFirstsStatesGovernmentMemoriesExistenceChristianityCenturyAwarenessIdentityInvolvedSacredLifetimeIslamFaithfulFoundersReligion And GovernmentWriting History Author:Bernard Lewis
