Church

"Christianity means to the merchant that he should be honest; to the judge it means that he should be just; to the servant, that he should be faithful; to the school boy, that he should be diligent; to the street-sweeper, that he should sweep clean; to every worker, that his work shall be well done." - Anonymous

"For what constitutes a Christian is not accepting the Christian’s creed, but accepting Christ as Savior and Lord. It is a question of personal loyalty and love." - Sir Robert Anderson

"The only way to keep to keep Christianity out of the school system is to keep Christians out of it." - Harold Wiltz

True Christianity is "essentially dogmatic…Jesus Christ was not 'broad-minded' in the popular sense of the word; He was not prepared to accept as valid all views on every subject.

"True Christianity, it should be emphasized, speaks to all of life, not just to a narrowly 'religious' concerns." - John W. Whitehead

"The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity." - A. W. Tozer
