No mother or father has such a handle on life that they can afford to deprive their children of the grace that God only provides by the proper use of means. After all, motherhood and fatherhood is very temporary, but one's relationship with God is eternal (so it needs to be the right relationship).

John S. Waldrip (April 2, 2011)

The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

As a scientist, I am qualified to assert the fact that evolution is not an empirical science. It cannot be proven by experimentation, it cannot be demonstrated by observation, it cannot be tested and it cannot be verified. It is unproven and unprovable. The transmutation of one distinct species unto another distinct species has never been observed and never will be because man cannot live a million years attempting to verify it. It is impossible to observe. Therefore, evolution cannot even be classified as a theory, because by definition a theory must be testable. It is but a speculative philosophy, a projection back into time. It is a wishful extrapolation outside the realm of experimentation. But more to the point, it is an attempt to reconstruct history in order to do away with God. As Richard Dawkins boasts, "Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist."

Dr. Paul S. Nelson

Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honor and worth to their Creator-God precisely because he is worthy, delightfully so.

D. A. Carson

Imagine a world where people fear God more than men and serve God more than comfort.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where no one languishes in crushing loneliness, where no abused woman or man or child suffers alone, where people take their real and pressing problems to Christians who have the reputation of being helpers, and where victims are not swept away, lost, forgotten.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where you know the names of your neighbors, and you play cards with them and eat meals together, praying for the children in the neighborhood and lending a helping hand before you are asked.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where people take back the night in prayer.

Imagine a world where the fruit of repentance and the practice of hospitality mark the reputations of Christians for those who do not yet believe that Jesus saves by the very same power that raised him from the grave.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where biblical patriarchy - the benevolent leading of servant-hearted fathers - made all of us breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the good fathers would protect us from the roving gangs of evil men.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where sexuality was safe within the confines of biblical boundaries an d was not unleashed in rape, incest, pornography, and self-harm.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where every Christian knew by name people who lived in poverty or prison, felt tied to them and to their futures, and lived differently because of it.

Rosaio Butterfield

Imagine a world where every Christian knew his neighbors sufficiently to be of earthly and spiritual good.

Rosario Butterfield

Imagine a world where men lived as men of God and women lived as women of God, and children - including those not yet born - were valued as children of God. One where gender and sexuality roles were known to be blessings to others, even when they require great sacrifice. One where being born male or female comes with distinct blessings and constraints, and whee our roles as men and women were valued as high and distinctive callings.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine if the children of the neighborhood knew that the Christians were safe people to ask for help when unthinkable agony canvassed their private or family lives.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where neighbors said that Christians throw the best parties in town and are the go-to people for big problems and issues, without being invited.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where living as image bearers of a holy God meant something, something that changed the way we saw ourselves and others.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where every Christian tithed, and where we lived intentionally below our means, having enough to share and moving into neighborhoods that need us more often than we need them.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where every Christian made a covenant of church membership and honored it.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where every Christian practiced radically ordinary hospitality as either host or guest.

Rosaria Butterfield

The great majority of friendships are based on common sin.

John S. Waldrip

It is a Christian's duty to triumph, not only over the world, but over Satan.

William Bridge (1600-1670)

Christianity does not profess to convince the perverse and headstrong, to bring irresistible evidence to the daring and profane, to vanquish the proud scorner, and afford evidences from which the careless and perverse cannot possibly escape. This might go to destroy man's responsibility. All Christianity professes, is to propose such evidences as may satisfy the meek, the tractable, the candid, the serious inquirer.

Simon Greenleaf, Harvard law school founder and professor

Christian theism is the only coherent worldview; all others are incoherent and contradictory.

Paul S. Nelson
