“The word of God is definitely above culture, in terms of what or who should have authority in our lives. However, we must remember that we are within culture, and our calling in Christ is to play our part in the redemption and transformation of individuals and cultures. I believe the recent history of the religious subculture teaches all too clearly that unless we are moving forward in seeking the genuine transformation of culture, then we are standing still and it is transforming us.” ShouldBelieveStillsPlayRememberMovingCultureIndividualI BelieveTermChristReligiousChristianityTeachOur LivesCallingAuthorityStandingShould HaveTransformationSeekingGenuineMoving ForwardRedemptionWord Of GodTransformingStanding StillSubculture Author:Steve Scott
“Pat, did you notice yesterday the ACLU, and all the Christ-haters, People For the American Way, NOW, etc. were totally disregarded by the Democrats and the Republicans in both houses of Congress as they went out on the steps and called out on to God in prayer and sang "God Bless America" and said "let the ACLU be hanged"? In other words, when the nation is on its knees, the only normal and natural and spiritual thing to do is what we ought to be doing all the time - calling upon God.” PeopleWaySaidHumorAmericaSpiritualHouseNationsChristNaturalReligiousPrayerStepsOughtCallingRepublicanNormalDemocratCongressPositive AtheismYesterdayKneesThings To DoEtcBlessGod BlessDisregardedGod Bless America Author:Jerry Falwell
“There comes a moment during which almost every girl or boy falls into melancholy; they are tormented by a vague inquietude which rests on everything and finds nothing to calm it. They seek solitude; they weep; the silence to be found in cloister attracts them: the image of peace that seems to reign in religious houses seduces them. They mistake the first manifestations of a developing sexual nature for the voice of God calling them to Himself; and it is precisely when nature is inciting them that they embrace a fashion of life contrary to nature's wish.” FirstsMomentsSeemsFallGirlFoundHouseWishVoiceReligiousMistakeSilenceBoysAtheismFashionCallingSolitudeEmbraceCalmPositive AtheismContraryDevelopingManifestationMelancholyVagueReignSeducingVoice Of GodEvery Girl Author:Denis Diderot
“Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's.” WayWantKindMayStillsFactsHandsTermReligiousMistakeAcceptingChristianityFireNiceSkyShareCallingGloryPromotingRevivalAltarsShoutingGlory Of GodPower Of GodChariots Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“I'm sort of religious, actually. God can be interpreted many ways, I think. If others were more open-minded about what god can be, instead of just calling it god and saying it works this way or that way, we'd all be in a better situation and a better place.” IfsThinkingWayReligiousSituationCallingBetter PlaceOpen Minded Author:Max Bemis
