“Poet, forger of ideals, dreamer among the possibilities of life, prophet of the millenium, do you get impatient with the prosaic life around you -- the dulness, and the earthliness, and the brutishness of men? Fret not. Go forward into the realm which stretches before you; climb the highest mountain you can reach, and plant a cross there. The nations will come up to it some day. Work for immortality if you will; then wait for it. If your own age fail to recognize you, a coming age will not.” IfsMenAgeNationsWaitingFailingPossibilityPoetMountainHighestIdealsCrossesPlantCome UpImmortalityRealmsProphetClimbsDreamerImpatient Author:J.

“So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.” IfsThinkingBelieveDoeDiesChristChurchFailingAreasCrossesOkayDied Author:Rick Warren
“If our Christianity has ceased to be serious about discipleship, if we have watered down the gospel into emotional uplift which makes no costly demands and which fails to distinguish between natural and Christian existence, then we cannot help regarding the cross as an ordinary everyday calamity, as one of the trials and tribulations of life. We have then forgotten that the cross means rejection and shame as well as suffering .” IfsWellsMeanHelpingChristianSufferingNaturalExistenceChristianityFailingEmotionalSeriousDemandOrdinaryCrossesShameEverydayForgottenTrialsUpliftingRejectionDiscipleshipCalamityTribulationTrials And Tribulations Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
