“Christian Fundamentalism: The doctrine that there is an absolutely powerful, infinitely knowledgeable, universe spanning entity that is deeply and personally concerned about my sex life” (Andrew Lias)
*** You can put any area of life in place of sex, and it is all true. This big God, the only God, loves each of us and is totally area of and interested in EVERY aspect of our lives, that is just amazingly wondrous to me!***

“Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in His great campaign of sabotage”(C.S.Lewis)
***We are called to sabotage the schemes of the Devil and to do all that we can to make sure that we are campaigning for Christ and point souls toward Him.***

"... I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe." (Dan Quayle)
***Our first allegiance, if we are to call ourselves true Christian Americans is not to America, but to Christ. For our home is not here in America, but in Heaven. We are just guests on this planet that has an expiration date.***

Someone has said, "If we could get religion like a Baptist, experience it like a Methodist, be positive about it like a Disciple, be proud of it like an Episcopalian, pay for it like a Presbyterian, propagate it like an Adventist, and enjoy it like an Afro-American -- that would be some religion!" (attributed to H.E. Fosdick)
***No denomination is perfect, and I like this quote because it points out some of the strengths of each and how we could improve and be better, which should be a striving of all Christians.

"Conversion for me was not a Damascus Road experience. I slowly moved into an intellectual acceptance of what my intuition had always known." (Madeleine L`Engle)
***We all come to know Christ in a little different way, the important point is not how we came to accept Christ, but that we accept and believe and live it out. It is also important that we do what Paul says and become all things to all people, so that all may come to believe.
