If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

The common moral framework: Do anything as long as it does no harm to others.

Problem: Whose definition of harm? As soon as you apply this ethic we realize everyone has a different definition. It doesn't work.

When we say "I can't believe in a God who would __", we're saying we don't really want a God beyond our comprehension.

I love the fact that today, as often, the Queen has written so openly and boldly about her Christian faith.

I am not what I ought to be.
I am not what I wish to be.
I am not what I one day will be.
But, by the grace of God, I am not what I once was.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Unbelievers recognize their sin as their freedom. Believers recognize their sin as their bondage.

Jesus Christ changes everything.

"The essence of sin is man substituting
himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting
himself for man. Man asserts himself...and puts
himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself...and puts himself where only man deserves to be." J.Stott

[Ines San Martin @inesanma]

Pope Francis to educators: "Not to speak the truth about God out of respect for those who do not believe would be, in the field of education, like burning books out of respect for those who are not intellectuals, destroying works of art out of respect for those who do not see."

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
