Christians ought to eliminate their folly. They ought to adopt God’s view of the absolute impossibility for their natural walk to please Him. They must dare to allow the Holy Spirit to point out to them every corruption of the soul life.

Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Our old history ends with the Cross; our new history begins with the resurrection.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee There is a line drawn by God, a boundary where by virtue of his own very presence Satan’s writ does not run. Let God but occupy all the space himself, and what room is left for the evil one?
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee The ‘flesh’ is too bad to be cleansed; it must be crucified.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee The devil abhors light and truth because these remove the ground of his working.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee To remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain from doing so.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Take this as the secret of Christ’s life in you: His Spirit dwells in your innermost spirit. Meditate on it, believe in it, and remember it until this glorious truth produces within you a holy fear and wonderment that the Holy Spirit indeed abides in you.

The Christianity which is shared is the Christianity which is convincing.
Bill VaughanBill Vaughan Antisemitism is just another form of racism. It’s the same sickness, whether it’s about Christians, about Islamophobia, which is horrible. It’s all wrong. It’s all the same.
Russell SimmonsRussell Simmons It seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same god, and he’s telling them all different things.
Billy ConnollyBilly Connolly God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.
Billy SundayBilly Sunday If we were to boil down Christianity to its core, we’d be left with simply this: relationship with God. The living, loving God of the universe has spoken throughout history, and still speaks today – not just to pastors or priests, but to anyone who will listen. God will speak to you.
Bill HybelsBill Hybels H.L.Mencken’s war aims, according to the handful of observers who deigned to notice his conflict, were the overthrow of American Democracy, the Christian religion, and the YMCA. He was also credited with trying to wipe out poets and luncheon orators.
Ben HechtBen Hecht Religion is spelled DO. Christianity is spelled DONE. One endlessly works to earn love. The other simply receives it!
Bill HybelsBill Hybels I have always considered Christianity as the strong ground of republicanism.
