Some Quotes

"Remember that vision depends on characted - the pure in heart see God." - O. Chambers 'My Utmost' 3.26

"The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be runied. How would I ever get on in the world? Herin lies the real place of Christian scholarship. Christian scholarship is the Church's prodigious invention to defend itself against the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Oh, priceless scholarship, what would we do without you? Dreadful it is to fall into the hands." - Soren Kierkegaard; Quoted by Shane Claiborne in The Irresistible Revolution

"Spartans enjoy your breakfast. For tonight we dine in hell!" - King Leonidas 300
