The Gateway to Christianity is not through an intricate labyrinth of dogma, but by a simple belief in the person of Christ.
How natural that the errors of the ancient should be handed down and, mixing with the principles and system which Christ taught, give to us an adulterated Christianity.
'Pomegranate,' started with my imagining a bullet going through the fruit and causing it to bleed. My initial associations were with pomegranates in old masters painting and their Judeo-Christian symbolism.
All the modern christian churches have no more authority to preach, baptize, or administer any other ordinance of the gospel than the idolatrous Hindoos have.
Christianity was literally born in the Middle East, and we must not forget our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters in Christ.
God chose to introduce Himself to us in the first verse of Genesis as a Creator. And yet so few Christians really understand the power of creativity to influence the culture.
I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way.
There's enough hard stuff going on in people's lives, and you really need that joy that laughter can bring. I don't have to put that in a Christian compartment.
I get along so much better with fundamentalist Christians than I do with wishy-washy liberals, who want everyone to get along.
I grew up as a Christian. I suppose at some level I wanted to believe someone was watching over me.
America was founded on Christians not trusting each other, and they sometimes seemed more willing to reach out to the godless than to someone from another sect.

The founding document of the United States of America acknowledges the Lordship of Jesus Christ because we are a Christian nation.
When I was in charge of the Christian Coalition I was available to mobilize grass roots support for somebody.
I never did calligraphy... But handwriting is an entirely different kind of thing. It's part of the syndrome of modernism... It's part of that asceticism.
I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it.
From beginning to end, our Christian lives— highs and lows, fasting and fornication— are a tapestry of grace. Charis: God's Scandalous Grace for Us (p. 31).
People, when they buy a hat, they can't explain why they want to buy it or why they want it, but they do. It's like chocolate.
Hats are really for ultimate occasions, so when I make one, I try to do something different, something noticeable.
When people come and visit me and have a hat made, it's a little bit like visiting a psychiatrist, but they don't actually realize that.
Not long ago, a hat was a conformist accessory. Then the 1960s came along, and young people didn't want to wear hats.
