Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas for next summer for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things at the expense of neglecting Christ.

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.

Stabilizing the euro is one thing healing the culture that surrounds it is another. A world in which material values are everything and spiritual values nothing is neither a stable state nor a good society. The time has come for us to recover the Judeo-Christian ethic of human dignity in the image of God.

One of the most important responsibilities in the Christian life is to care about others smile at them and be a friend to the friendless.

It seems true that the growth of science and secularism made organized Christianity feel under threat.

Acceptance of the power of God in one's life lays the groundwork for personal commitment to both science and Christianity which so often have been in conflict.

If Christianity is not scientific and Science is not God then there is no invariable law and truth becomes an accident.

Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.

There are a lot of people who consider themselves 'spiritual ' but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I don't really talk about it that often because there's too much talk in the world. Especially with Christians there's more proselytizing than there is actual living proof of it. That's kind of sad.

Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together in religious societies may not be one of the least.

Christmas makes everything twice as sad.

Christmas is a time of year that's so romantic.
