“Here we have some people who call themselves Christians and they forget Jesus Christ was a Jew. Something like anti-Semitism is an artificial way of avoiding responsibility. You blame the problems in your country on someone else, on some group.” PeopleWayCountryProblemChristianJesusChristForgetResponsibilityGroupsJesus ChristBlameJewArtificialAvoidingAnti Semitism Author:Yevgeny Yevtushenko
“Everybody knows that really intimate conversation is only possible between two or three. As soon as there are six or seven, collective language begins to dominate. That is why it is a complete misinterpretation to apply to the Church the words 'Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Christ did not say two hundred, or fifty, or ten. He said two or three.” KnowsSaidTwoTogetherThreeNamesLanguageChristChurchGroupsTenConversationSixHundredSevenIntimateFiftyCollectivesMidstMisinterpretationIntimate Conversation Book:Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals) Source: Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals)

“God did not create the strife between races, nor did He intend for it to be that way. Strife between races and ethnic groups comes from sin-and sin resides in the human heart. The Bible says, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” (James 4:1). When one group or one race claims it is superior to another, pride has taken control-and pride is a sin.Instead, God wants us to learn to accept each other and love each other-and this becomes possible, as we turn our lives over to Christ and allow Him to change us from within.” WayWantHumansHeartDesireTurnsFightingCausesChristSinRaceAcceptingTakenOur LivesGroupsPrideBattleAnd LoveClaimsSuperiorsWithin YouHuman HeartStrifeWant UQuarrelsLove Each OtherEthnicityPeace And LoveChristian LoveBible VerseEthnic Groups Author:Billy Graham
“What I love about the Bible is that it's a group of stories but it's all telling one main story. It's about Jesus Christ. The story is not about me. That takes a lot of the pressure off me, but it also puts the responsibility on me to point people to who the true story is about.” PeopleStoriesJesusChristResponsibilityGroupsJesus ChristPressureTrue Story Author:Matt Diaz
“It is fruitless to search for a single musical style, or even any blend of musical styles, that can assist all Christians with true worship. The followers of Jesus are a far too diverse group of people-which is exactly as it should be. We need, rather, to welcome any worship music that helps churches produce disciples of Jesus Christ.” PeopleNeedsShouldHelpingChristianJesusChristChurchGroupsStyleProduceWorshipJesus ChristMusicalWelcomeFollowersDiverseDiscipleTrue WorshipWorship MusicMusical Style Author:Michael Adam Hamilton
“I believe people have different ways of approaching the Word. For me, it's metaphor, written by people a long time after Christ died and interpreted by specific groups.

“The Barbarian Way was, in some sense, trying to create a volatile fuel to get people to step out and act. It's pretty hard to get a whole group of people moving together as individuals who are stepping into a more mystical, faith-oriented, dynamic kind of experience with Christ. So, I think Barbarian Way was my attempt to say, "Look, underneath what looks like invention, innovation and creativity is really a core mysticism that hears from God, and what is fueling this is something really ancient." That's what was really the core of The Barbarian Way.” PeopleThinkingWayTryingLooksKindHardWholeTogetherMovingIndividualChristStepsCreativityGroupsInnovationAncientCoreInventionFuelMysticismMysticalBarbariansCreativity And Innovation Author:Erwin McManus
