Famous Christian Sayings

Everyman's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers.
Hans Christian Anderson

If a man cannot be a Christian in the place he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.
Henry Ward Beecher

Discretion is the salt, and fancy the sugar of life; the one preserves, the other sweetens it.
John Christian Bovee

The Holy Spirit makes a man a Christian, and if he is a Christian through the work of the Holy Spirit, that same Spirit draws him to other Christians in the church. An individual Christian is not Christian at all
R. Brokhoff

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Being filled with the Holy Spirit, then, is a matter of obedience to the Word of God. The filling of the Spirit that all experienced at Pentecost was a matter of a promise being fulfilled. Today, the believer is to be filled in obedience to the command of Ephesians 5:18, continuously, not merely by a single, crisis experience. The Christian life is a growth process toward maturity
Clarence Cramer

God never built a Christian strong enough to carry today's duties and tomorrow's anxieties piled on top of them
Theodore Ledyard Cuyler

Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal.
Mary Baker Eddy

If you will protest courageously, and yet with dignity and Christian love, when the history books are written in future generations, the historians will have to pause and say, There lived a great people-a black people-who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
C.S. Lewis

The Christian cannot be satisfied so long as any human activity is either opposed to Christianity or out of connection with Christianity. Christianity must pervade not merely all nations but also all of human thought.
J. Gresham Machen

It is in the ordinary duties and labors of life that the Christian can and should develop his spiritual union with God.
Thomas Merton

No two Christians will ever meet for the last time.

Unless we rely on God's power within us, we will yield to the pressures around us.
