Quotes about christian
christian believe tree
We recognize a tree by its fruit, and we ought to be able to recognize a Christian by his action. The fruit of faith should be evident in our lives, for being a Christian is more than making sound professions of faith. It should reveal itself in practical and visible ways.

christian giving-up fall
When one gives up the Christian faith, one pulls the right to Christian morality out from under one's feet. This morality is by no means self-evident.

christian biblical israel
The stranger in ancient Israel did not serve as a judge, although he received all the benefits of living in the land. The political question is this: By what biblical standard is the pagan to be granted the right to bring political sanctions against God's people?

By what other standard than the Bible?
