Some Random Quotes

Filed under: Faith

This morning, I came across a few things in my reading that I thought I’d share with the people that happen to stumble across my site.

“For many people, Church has become a barren and unfulfilling experience, which fails to address, let alone answer, life’s deepest questions and concerns.” (Stephen Chalke in The Lost Message of Jesus)

“To assume that we have got Jesus ‘pinned down’ or ’summed up’ is not simply arrogant but stupid, and in the end inhibits our ability to communicate His unchanging message to an ever-changing world.” (Stephen Chalke, The Lost Message of Jesus)

“A little faith will take you to heaven, but I pray for the kind of faith that will bring heaven to earth.” (Charles Spurgeon)

“He has no desire to punish people. They have already been punished excessively by their own inner and outward waywardness. The Father wants simply to let them know that the love they have searched for in such distorted ways has been, is, and always will be there for them.” (Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son)
