Book cover for Caspar Schwenckfeld: Between Tyranny And Anarchy
The visible sacraments became almost superfluous when compared with the sacrament which was Christ Himself.

Francis Chan
“When you consider all the divisions that have fractured the church into literally thousands of branches, it’s hard to believe that we all claim to follow the same Jesus who prayed before He died that we would all be one as He and the Father are one.”
Francis Chan, Until Unity

G.K. Chesterton
“Government has become ungovernable; that is, it cannot leave off governing. Law has become lawless; that is, it cannot see where laws should stop. The chief feature of our time is the meekness of the mob and the madness of the government.”
G.K. Chesterton, Eugenics and Other Evils : An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State

George Orwell
“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. ”
George Orwell

Jacques Ellul
“Women are the most spectacular instance of this. After a period of independence that came with the spread of Christianity, they were relegated to a lower order. This is all the more interesting because the gospel and the first church were never hostile to women nor treated them as minors, and the situation of women in the Roman empire (particularly in the East) was relatively favourable. In spite of this, when Christianity became a power or authority, this worked against women. A strange perversion, yet fully understandable when we allow that women represent precisely the most innovative elements in Christianity: grace, love, charity, a concern for living creatures, nonviolence, an interest in little things, the hope of new beginnings - the very elements that Christianity was setting aside in favor of glory and success.”
Jacques Ellul, The Subversion of Christianity

A.W. Tozer
“I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.”
A.W. Tozer
