The principalities and powers were created and ordained by God (Colossians 1:16) to serve humanity by being conformed, so that His love and justice would be reflected within each of them. But like so much of this fallen world, they are in rebellion against the designs of their creator and Christians can say with Hamlet, “The time is out of joint—O cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right! That is the task of the church, to set things right."
James Wilson
"Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine. Far from being rivals or enemies religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistance. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other."
Benjamin Rush
"My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it."
Rich Mullins
"And if I were a painter I do not know what I’d paint: the calling of the ancient stars or assembling of the saints. There’s so much beauty around us for just two eyes to see, so everywhere I go, I’m looking."
John Chacha
"When someone is hopeless, it takes another person to bring hope. If you live a life that is selfish, it is not really worth living, but helping other people brings a lot of joy."
Jerry Falwell
"We can only change the world if we have a heart for the world and deliver the message for the world. We can only change the world if we evangelize the world."
Eugene Peterson
"It is not easy to convey a sense of wonder, let alone resurrection wonder, to another. It’s the very nature of wonder to catch us off guard, to circumvent expectations and assumptions. Wonder can’t be packaged, and it can’t be worked up. It requires some sense of being there and some sense of engagement."
Bob Lindsey
"The significance of the Gospels and the variety of current opinion regarding them make it incumbent on both the ordinary reader and the dedicated scholar to acquire as much knowledge as possible if he or she wishes to form an accurate portrait of Jesus and, indeed, the very origins of the Christian movement."
Jacques Ellul
"The biblical teaching is clear. It always contests political power. It incites to 'counterpower,' to 'positive' criticism, to an irreducible dialogue (like that between king and prophet in Israel), to antistatism, to a decentralizing of the relation, to an extreme relativizing of everything political, to an anti-ideology, to a questioning of all that claims either power or dominion (in other words, of all things political), and finally, if we may use a modern term, to a kind of "anarchism" (so long as we do not relate the term to the anarchist teaching of the nineteenth century)."
Marshall McLuhan
"In Jesus Christ, there is no distance or separation between the medium and the message. It's the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same."
