1 " Two people whose opinion I respect told me that the word " Christian" would turn people off. This certainly says something about the state of Christianity today. I wouldn't mind if to be a Christian were accepted as being the dangerous thing which it is; I wouldn't mind if, when a group of Christians meet for bread and wine, we might well be interrupted and jailed for subversive activities; I wouldn't mind if, once again, we were being thrown to the lions. I do mind, desperately, that the word " Christian" means for so many people smugness, and piosity, and holier-than-thouness. Who today can recognize a Christian because of " how those Christians love one another? "
2 " To be spiritually alive is to live in repentance. Spiritually dead are those Christians who never weep over their sins or who have long ceased to do so. Dead - in God's eyes - are those Christians who can no longer rejoice over God's forgiveness. Whenever this joy is missing, even if we may call ourselves committed Christians, there is something wrong in our lives. "
3 " Among those Christians to whom hell means little, Calvary means less. "
― Billy Graham , Billy Graham in Quotes
