Richard’s Quotes

“If the Tiber rises too high, or the Nile too low, the remedy is always feeding Christians to the lions.”
― Tertullian

tags: persecution, suspicion

“Christianity is anything but safe. Jesus made clear that trouble and persecution stood in the future for His followers.”
― Dillon Burroughs, Thirst No More: A One-Year Devotional Journey

“Yet somehow many have come to believe that a person can be a “Christian” without being like Christ. A “follower” who doesn’t follow. How does that make any sense? Many people in the church have decided to take on the name of Christ and nothing else. This would be like Jesus walking up to those first disciples and saying, “Hey, would you guys mind identifying yourselves with Me in some way? Don’t worry, I don’t actually care if you do anything I do or change your lifestyle at all. I’m just looking for people who are willing to say they believe in Me and call themselves Christians.”
― Francis Chan, Multiply: Disciples Making Disciples
