"Go up beforehand and see your lodging. Look through all your Father's rooms in heaven; in your Father's house are many dwelling-places. Men take a sight of lands ere they buy them. I know Christ hath made the bargain already: but be kind to the house you are going to, and see it often."- Samuel Rutherford
"Morality is universal. Scholars know of no culture, past or present, that does not have a system of morality. Even though moral standards may vary from one culture to another, or even within a particular culture, every culture distinguishes "what is" from "what ought to be." It is impossible for a culture either to rise above morality or to get out from under it."- Dinesh D'Souza
"Imagine I take a blind test in which my task is to identify the genuine follower of Jesus Christ. My choices are an unregenerate individual and you. I'm given two reports detailing conversations, Internet activity, manner of dress, iPod playlists, television habits, hobbies, leisure time, financial transactions, thoughts, passions, and dreams. The question is: Would I be able to tell you apart? Would I discern a difference between you and your unconverted neighbor, coworker, classmate, or friend? Have the lines between Christian and worldly conduct in your life become so indistinguishable that there really is no difference at all?"- C.J. Mahaney
"He gives us the will wherewith to will, and the power to use it, and the help needed to supplement the power:...but we ourselves must will the truth and for that the Lord is waiting....The work is His, be we must take our willing share. When the blossom breaks forth in us, the more it is ours the more it is His."- George MacDonald
"The presence of moral disagreement does not indicate absence of universal morality."- Dinesh D'Souza
"The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him—and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by."- Francis Chan
"Have you ever thought of prosperity as a test? Randy Alcorn once heard of a leader of the persecuted church in Romania say, 'In my experience, 95 percent of the believers who face the test of persecution pass it, while 95 percent who face the test of prosperity fail it.' Wow! That's a staggering statement. And I know one man who would agree."- Dave Harvey
"The second step is preparing our mind for action. As one who wept over his own faintness of heart, the apostle Peter urges us to begin by preparing our minds for action (Matt. 26:69-75; 1 Pet. 1:13). Such preparation comes from a return to biblical truth. In partcular we need to see what the Bible says about the world's true nature and its real needs."- Gary Haugen
"The trouble with too many of us is that we think God called us to be manufacturers when He really called us to be distributors. He alone has the resources to meet human needs; all we can do is receive His riches and share them with others."- Warren Wiersbe
"Hitler was born Catholic just as Stalin was born into the Russian Orthodox Church and Mao was raised as a Buddhist. These facts prove nothing, as many people reject their religious upbringing as these three men did."- Dinesh D'Souza
"God's compassion fro the victims of injustice extends to all people , all around the world, without distinction or favor. When it comes to loving the people of the world, God suffers under none of our limitations. He doesn't feel so limited for his caring or hierarchies of people, races, communities or nations to love. Rather, as the psalmist writes, 'The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed' (Psalm 103:6). Indeed God seeks to establish justice 'to save all the afflicted of the land' (Psalm 76:9). The God of the Bible is a God that loves and bleeds justice (cf. Psalm 37:28)."- Gary Haugen
"The greatest motivation we could ever find for being passionately committed to the Church is that Jesus is passionately committed to the Church."- Joshua Harris
"The first step is cultivating a compassionate awareness. Perhaps the next step is our development as children of God is a capacity for compassion permanence - a courageous and generous capacity to remember the needs of an unjust world even when they are out of our immediate sight. God calls us to grow-up capacity to engage a world of oppression with our heart and mind, even though (thankfully) it is not always before our eyes."- Gary Haugen
"Biblical faith is effective, bring the grace of God to bear in the life of the believer. This means it is relational, essentially a personal confidence in the person of God."- Wayne V. McDill
"Ministry takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God."- Warren Wiersbe
"Focusing only on the big three - Stalin, Hitler, and Mao - we have to recognize that atheist regimes have in a single century murdered more than one hundred million people. Religion-inspired killing simply cannot compete with the murders perpetrated by atheist regimes."- Dinesh D'Souza
"Until the gospel events of Good Friday and Easter and the gospel promises of justification and eternal life lead you to behold and embrace God himself as your highest joy, you have not embraced the gospel of God. You have embraced some of his gifts. You have rejoiced over some of his rewards. You have marveled at some of his miracles. But you have not yet been awakened to why the gifts, the rewards, and the miracles have come. They have come for one great reason: that you might behold forever the glory of God in Christ, and by beholding become the kind of person who delights in God above all things, and by delighting display his supreme beauty and worth with ever-increasing brightness and bliss forever."- John Piper
"Biblical Faith is theocentric, centered in the person and will of God, not in the experience of man."- Wayne V. McDill
"Let him who would know the truth of the Maker, become sorely athirst, and drink of the brook by the way—then lift up his heart—not at that moment to the Maker of oxygen and hydrogen, but to the Inventor and Mediator of thirst and water, that man might foresee a little of what his soul might find in God."- George MacDonald
"In the context, of the history of warfare, there is no warrant for considering the Crusades a world historical crime of any sort. The Christians fought to defend themselves from a foreign conquest, while the Muslims fought to continue conquering Christian lands."- Dinesh D'Souza
