Christianity has aimed to deliver us from a life determined by nature, from the appetites as actuating us, and so has meant that man should not let himself be determined by his appetites.
Women come into our shop for that ultimate moment in their life. They're buying a dream. They're buying a moment for themselves. That's what I sell - moments.
Hats are for life's ultimate moments. They're worn at races, at weddings. Occasions many of us, who aren't royals and celebrities, only attend once or twice in a lifetime.
If saying that religion should be a private matter and should not have special influence in public life is illiberal, then 74% of U.K. Christians are illiberal, too.
Whatever requires an undue amount of thought or trouble or involves a large expenditure of effort and causes our whole life to revolve, as it were, around solicitude for the flesh must be avoided by Christians.
As a Christian, Christ died so that we will have eternal life in Him in Heaven. What it looks like doesn't matter, what it smells like doesn't matter, as long as Christ is there it will be Heaven to me.
I am not trendy. I am not 'in fashion.' I am simply a positive human being who has a positive outlook on life.
I was trying to manage school and training for the Olympics and ended up not doing well at either. That was a big lesson in my life. My mother expected both.
I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world, considering us as a civilized and a Christian country, that we deny the advantages of learning to women.
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
I love research. When there's something that I like, I want to know everything about it. I want to know exactly what was behind it, and where it went from there.
I just love the way the '60s rock stars put themselves together, because they were like dandies and peacocks. They really lived out their fantasies - and dressed their fantasies.
I'm a surfer at heart. Both my parents moved to Hawaii in the 1970s, where they met and became Christians. Then they taught me and my two brothers how to love the Lord - and how to surf!
I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.
I never wanted to really make a career out of doing Christian music exclusively, but I love it to my core. I love music. I love what I'm doing now.
I like to eat. Definitely. I love sitting around a table with my friends. But I don't know how to cook anything.
For so long Versace couture was identified with celebrities and music, which I love. But at the same time it could overwhelm the clothes.
I just believe as a Christian, we are to show love; we are to show compassion to people, not to point the finger, not to do this, but to do this - to love them, to welcome them, to embrace them.
Christianity becomes just a set of things you believe in. It's almost an intellectual kind of abstract issue.
I don't care what the world says. My Bible says you can't live a continuous lifestyle of sin and be a Christian.
I want to see Christian fiction speak to the hard and real issues that tear people's lives apart.
