Os Guinness
“There is no problem with the wider culture that you cannot see in the spades in the Christian Church. The rot is in us, and not simple out there. And Christians are making a great mistake by turning everything into culture wars. It's a much deeper crisis.”
Os Guinness

Thomas Aquinas
“Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts.”
Thomas Aquinas

G.K. Chesterton
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”
G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World

Edward T. Welch
“Sanctification is like a clumsy, slow walk rather than a light switch that we turn from off to on.”
Edward T. Welch, When People Are Big and God is Small: Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man

“We will not wake up ten years from now and find we have passively taken on the character of God.”
