“The best argument for Christianity is Christians: their joy, their certainty, their completeness. But the strongest argument against Christianity is also Christians—when they are sombre and joy-less, when they are self-righteous and smug in complacent consecration, when they are narrow and repressive, then Chris-tianity dies a thousand deaths.”
― Sheldon Vanauken, A Severe Mercy

“If the central tenets of Christianity correspond to reality—if God is love, creation is good, humans are image bearers, sin is forgivable, Christ is risen, death is temporary, and justice is coming—then our commitment to human rights and equality reflect divine warrant rather than wish fulfilment, and the world is an immeasurably more hopeful and more meaningful place than it is if they do not.19 We should all want that.”
― Andrew Wilson, Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West

“Arms lose their strength and swords their edge. Then it is good to remember whence came your strength and who holds a sword that is never dull.”
― Stephen Lawhead, In the Hall of the Dragon King

“Don’t do the next thing just so that you can keep doing the next thing. Do the next thing because it honors God and testifies of His goodness and the goodness of your life to your neighbor.”
― Alan Noble, On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living
