They Said It Well

A ship in harbor is safe,
but that is not what ships are built for.
~William Shedd

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile,
a kind word,
a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
~Leo Buscaglia

One hundred religious persons
knit into a unity by careful organizations
do not constitute a church

The first requisite is life, always.
~A.W. Tozer

Jesus Christ spent His life going places He wasn’t supposed to go,
with people He wasn’t supposed to be with,
and saying things He wasn’t supposed to say.
He was irreligious.
Just ask the Pharisees.
While they were being religious,
He was engaging lost people where they lived!
~Victor Lee

In this post-modern era,
people don’t ask if you can prove it;
they ask if you can live it.
~Alvin Reid

"Thy faith hath saved thee;
go in peace."
~Jesus

"Oh Eagle,
don't be despondant due to the swift and rough breeze,
For it only blows in this manner to make you fly faster and higher."
~Iqbal

Our culture is religious,
but it’s not righteous.
~Alvin Reid

Today
the youngest pastor just out of seminary
has more authority in the Church than Jesus Christ has.
~A.W. Tozer
