“I think the best thing a person can do is to read through the Gospels in the Bible and really look at Jesus, because if a person does this, they will realize that the Jesus they learned about in Sunday school or the Jesus they hear jokes about or the skinny, Gandhi Jesus that exists in their imaginations isn't anything like the real Jesus at all.” IfsThinkingLooksPersonsDoeRealSchoolJesusCan DoRealizingImaginationJokesBest ThingsSundaySkinnySunday School Book:Searching for God Knows What Source: Searching for God Knows What
“Here in the UK, we've now got an evangelical television channel - it's the kind of thing that will be very familiar to everyone in the United States, especially if you've ever turned on your TV set on a Sunday morning, and seen one holy man after another, urging you to send money so that Jesus can buy a new cadillac. Apparently, Jesus can't save the world until he's been properly kitted out with a million-dollar mansion, and a private jet - some small print in the Gospels that we must have missed.” IfsMenWorldKindStatesJesusUnitedMorningMillionsUnited StatesTelevisionTvsHolyDollarsFamiliarSundayPrintMillion DollarsJetSave The WorldEvangelicalMansionsSunday MorningCadillacsHoly ManPrivate JetSmall Print Author:Pat Condell
“Manly natural religion - it is not joining the Church; it is not to believe in a creed, Hebrew, Protestant, Catholic, Trinitarian, Unitarian, Nothingarian. It is not to keep Sunday idle; to attend meetings; to be wet with water; to read the Bible; to offer prayers in words; to take bread and wine in the meeting house; love a scape-goat Jesus, or any other theological clap-trap.” BelieveHouseJesusWaterNaturalChurchPrayerAtheismOffersCatholicWineMeetingsPositive AtheismBreadSundayWetCreedsTrapsIdleJoiningTheologicalProtestantsGoatsManlyHebrewUnitarianBread And WineScapes Author:Theodore Parker
“The death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days. Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory. You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions: Number one, what do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion? Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.” TwoPainFacesJoySufferingThreeJesusAnswersNumbersDoubtHappenedVictoryAskingFundamentalsMiseryLifetimeConfusionSundayFinding YourselfResurrectionAgonySaturdayEasterFridayBurialJesus ResurrectionSuffering And Pain Author:Rick Warren

“God brought me to Himself at about the age of 4. My parents were devout believers and my Dad was in Bible College at the time. I remember hearing the gospel in Sunday School and I talked to my Mom about it one night before bed. It was clear to me that I was a sinner and I was not going to heaven if I died without accepting Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for me. I was brought to Christ out of fear of going to hell. I didn't want to go there if I died and there was only one other choice in my mind as a 4 year old. I wanted to go to heaven. It was and is that simple.” IfsWantYearsMindAgeWantedSchoolRememberNightChoicesJesusHeavenParentChristSimpleAcceptingHellClearCollegeMomDadBedJesus ChristCrossesDiedMy DadMy MomHearingBelieverSinnerSundayOne NightSunday SchoolGoing To Heaven Author:Ben Zobrist
