Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
Almost every college playwright or sketch or improv comedian was sort of aware of Christopher Durang - even kids in high school. His short plays were so accessible to younger people and I think that was inspirational to me.
Poor David Hume is dying fast but with more real cheerfulness and good humor and with more real resignation to the necessary course of things than any whining Christian ever dyed with pretended resignation to the will of God.
My object will be if possible to form Christian men for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make.
I hope that it can relate to and be a blessing to anybody with the hope that someday they will find Jesus Christ to be the same God that I've found Him to be.
I remember thinking That's what I need - and that hope was in Jesus Christ.
My hope and prayer is that the body of Christ in America will awake with holy boldness a boldness content neither with silence nor mere words but that backs up those words with action and results.
During the Second World War evacuated to non-Jewish households I encountered Christianity at home and in school.
I love being home at Christmastime.
Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian.
Christmas is of course the time to be home - in heart as well as body.
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to do three things. He came to have my past forgiven you get a purpose for living and a home in Heaven.
Christmas... is not an external event at all but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.
We should declare war on North Vietnam. We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it and still be home by Christmas.
It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas.
Happy happy Christmas that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
And History will smile to think that this is the species for which Socrates and Jesus Christ died.
The history of Christianity therefore must be of concern to all who are interested in the record of man and particularly to all who seek to understand the contemporary human scene.
Now when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel of course it brings joy to my heart. And it simply says look people have learned from history.
All history is incomprehensible without Christ.
I know that many of you do wear such a cross of Christ not in any ostentatious way not in a way that might harm you at your work or recreation but a simple indication that you value the role of Jesus Christ in the history of the world that you are trying to live by Christ's standards in your own daily life.
I'm not one of those who wants to purge our society of our Christian history.
Today for the first time in history a Bishop of Rome sets foot on English soil. This fair land once a distant outpost of the pagan world has become through the preaching of the Gospel a beloved and gifted portion of Christ's vineyard.
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
