Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carson McCullers

But look what the Church has done to Jesus during the last two thousand years. What they have made of Him. How they have turned every word He spoke for their own vile ends. Jesus would be framed and in jail if he was living today.

Charles Colson

I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.

Jase Robertson

Through Jesus, your past is explained, your present has a purpose, and your future is secure. What more could you really want in life?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession.... Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

In Jesus, the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Every word of Holy Scripture was a love letter from God directed very personally to us and he asked us whether we loved Jesus.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

A love that left people alone in their guilt would not have real people as its object. So, in vicarious responsibility for people, and in His love for real human beings, Jesus becomes the one burdened by guilt.

Dean Koontz

One of the underlying things I like to do in books, is just say, stop and look at this for a moment. Not that you've got to believe that Jesus was real, or not to believe in God, but the belief that it isn't just happenstance.

Dan Barker

There is not a single contemporary historical mention of Jesus, not by Romans or by Jews, not by believers or by unbelievers, during his entire lifetime. This does not disprove his existence, but it certainly casts great doubt on the historicity of a man who was supposedly widely known to have made a great impact on the world. Someone should have noticed.

Lesley Stahl

Artie is as engrained in the 6O Minutes DNA as anyone. As our director, Artie, with his exquisite taste, created the look of the show, one we never abandoned in all our years on the air.

Tesema Negash

Our donors have helped many people live through this drought, but it would be a cruel escape, if those who lost the most only suffer more in the months ahead because contributions dry up. We must stay the course, and help these people recover rather than abandon them because of the rains.

Corey McKeon

Our D line is kind of really anticipating this game. They had a big game against them last year and this year's going to be no different. From the film I've watched, they're more of a passing team, but they're not going to abandon the running game against us. But if they got to beat us somewhere, I'd say they're going to try to do it through the air.

Robert Passikoff

Arabs cross to collect the grain that they left in the abandoned villages and we set mines for them and they go back without an arm or a leg.

John R. Allen

And the narrative for the Taliban that they can wait us out is a flawed narrative. I think that the unambiguous international support for Afghanistan has been a very powerful message. You know, that was the message that came out of the NATO summit. We will not abandon Afghanistan.

Charles Harris

The situation is already grave, if not grotesque, ... And to facilitate this by making drinking facilities more widely available is close to lunacy. It simply means that our towns and city centers are abandoned every night to tribes of pugnacious, drunk, noisy, vomiting louts.

Ben Shahn

Now again, there are so many gadgets on cameras now that people abandon these simpler instruments for the more sure instruments.

Robert Anton Wilson

A disciple is an asshole looking for a human being to attach itself to.

Bible Bible

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

E. B. White

What would Jesus drive? A Tahoe so he could get up to eight of his disciples inside and tow the rest in a trailer behind.

John Strachan

Whenever the names of the disciples are enumerated in the New Testament, St. Peter's stands at their head.

Elaine Pagels

The Gospel of Judas really has been a surprise in many ways. For one thing, there's no other text that suggests that Judas Iscariot was an intimate, trusted disciple, one to whom Jesus revealed the secrets of the kingdom, and that conversely, the other disciples were misunderstanding what he meant by the gospel.
