There was no instruction to be thankful that the Christians were special people chosen people. There was no nationalistic political or ethnic superiority to be thankful for.

I'm so thankful for the active obedience of Christ. No hope without it.

Now a lot of what we are doing right now quite frankly is because of what happened on Christmas. Many of the things were kind of in the works. We were already planning for example the purchase and deployment of advanced imaging technology. You call them body scanners. We call them AITs (Advanced Imaging Technologies).

The answer of course in the mouth of a Christian teacher is that in Christianity alone is there both present joy and future hope.

My parents were early converts to Christianity in my part of Nigeria. They were not just converts my father was an evangelist a religious teacher. He and my mother traveled for thirty-five years to different parts of Igboland spreading the gospel.

I very much dislike the intolerance and moralism of many Christians and feel more sympathy with Honest Doubters than with them.

Strength was the virtue of paganism obedience is the virtue of Christianity.

I want kids to understand that strength doesn't come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you and that comes from Jesus Christ.

The virtue of paganism was strength the virtue of Christianity is obedience.

May He who is the Brahman of the Hindus the Ahura-Mazda of the Zoroastrians the Buddha of the Buddhists the Jehovah of the Jews the Father in Heaven of the Christians give strength to you to carry out your noble idea.
