Christ was crucified once, but his teachings suffer crucifixion every day at the hands of men of limited vision. Christ’s teachings cannot be understood just by reading the Bible…but by living and trying out in everyday life the principles taught in the book.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
By the cross we, too, are crucified with Christ; but alive in Christ. We are no more rebels, but servants; no more servants, but sons!
God has no religion.
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
"Has Christianity Failed You?"
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
It is difficult to know why God reveals Himself to some and plays the game of hide-and-seek with others.
-Baba Ram Dass
God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.
