GOD bless all of you!!!
I know this is sort of strange, but i would like to have a place to post cool and reflective Christian sayings, and maybe even reflect on what we think they mean, so i guess i'll be first.

"how wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before strating to imporce the world."-Anne Frank

and...
"Birds sing after a storm:why shouldn't we?"-Rose Kennedy:lol:

Imporce?

A saying that I appreciate is:
"God has no grandchildren."

Off the top of my head, there are some sayings I like that relate to Christianity:

The Babel fish is small, yellow, leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy absorbing unconscious frequencies and excreting a matrix of conscious frequencies to the speech centres of the brain. The practical upshot of which is that if you stick one in your ear you instantly understand anything said to you in any language.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D.
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys. -----The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy


Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. ------ Mark Twain

"Faith sees the invisible and accomplishes the impossible."

"There are no people in hell that don't believe in God."
(Explanation-Because once people die they see God before they are sentenced to either heaven or hell.)

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose."

lol, i thought that one was cute.



as for my favorite saying applied to Christianity:

"Do or do not. There is no try." -- Master Yoda

Posted on the inside of a church's main entrance, to see as you leave and head back out into the world:

"Servants Entrance."

My signature which is based on Jim Elliot quote is "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. "

"God is still talking" motto of the United Church of Christ

"It takes a passion to conquer a passion."Rev.Geoffrey A. Studdert Kennedy qouted in Samuel Shoemaker 'Extraodinary Living For Ordinary
Man p.95

"It is an axiom,to me at least,that the amount of good a person can do depends greatly on how much fun he gets out of it."ibid p.114 qouting
a Simon Stylites Column from the Christian Century

"A person is truely converted to Jesus Christ,and brought into the Church;but time goes on and this person becomes just an Evangelical or just an Anglo-Catholic,just a Liberal or just a Fundamentalist."
ibid p.138

"God is like Coca-Cola: he's the REAL thing!"

A friend of mine was on the Bible quizzing team for our church as a kid. He would jump up at an answer he thought he knew, and if he blanked out, he'd just say, "Um . . . God," and sit down. I suppose He is the ultimate answer. I mean, besides 42.

Another friend, an agnostic, once stated that he was such because he had "the sneaking suspicion that the universe has a sleeve and there's something up it."

Please tell me you wrote that just for me

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened. ---The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy


...sorry, digression. So, in the spirit of being on topic:


"It is absurd for the evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything." ---G.K. Chesterton

"Don't tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is."

"If I find in me a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
-C. S. Lewis

"It is well war is so terrible.We would grow too found of it."

Battle of Fredericksburg,Virginia in 1862.

I like that one.

Weelll, here's one from St. Augustine, a dude I'm reading for my Poli Theory class. He's full of awesome Christian sayings.

"Lay not up for yourselves treasure upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

That's Matthew 6:19-21, actually.

Myself, I tend to believe sayings oversimplify. Here is one I find significant:
“Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Self is a lousy master...it is never satisfied."

heres another good one I think of how GOD helps us, and reasons to keep out perspectives

"GOD loves you whether you like it- or not" bumpersticker

"The one who kneels to the Lord, can stand up to anything" unknown

"Preach the Gospel at all times, using words only when nessesary" unknown

and my favorite!!!

"The shortest distance between a problem and a solution, is the distance between you knees and the floor" unknown:rock:

12praiseGOD wrote:"Preach the Gospel at all times, using words only when nessesary" unknown

fixed.

"Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."
---St. Francis of Assisi

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."

CS Lewis --Mere Christianity

well lets change it up a bit, who can tell me what this saying says?

"GOD Himself does not propose to judge a man 'till he is dead, so why should we?"- unknown

and for all you girls that wonder how to look the best, and still feal great, here are a few tipes....

"For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For an attractive face, speek words of kindness. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone" - unknown

I hope GOD fill your life with great things and blessings, and please remember, GOD calls from the outside of the door of you heart. The door only has a knob within, so that you may choose to let him enter, or not. He knock, will you answer?...

GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!

[font="Lucida Console"][SIZE="2"][SIZE="3"][font="Arial"]B][color="White"][color="Magenta"][font="Fixedsys"][B]okay, i got this off the internet, it is amazing and very true, give me some comments on it.
It is titled the New School Prayer.

[[color="White"]CENTER]Now I sit me down in school
where praying is agaist the rule
Fot this great nation under GOD
Finds mention of Him very odd

IF SCRIPTURE NOW THE CLASS RECITES,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I vow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

OUR HAIR CAN BE PURPLE, ORANGE OR GREEN,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all
In silence alone we must meditate,
GOD'S name is prohibited by the state.

WE'RE ALLOWED TO CUSS AND DRESS LIKE FREAKS,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

WE CAN GET THIS OF WHICH CANT BE TOLD
Study witchcraft, vampires, and totem poles
BUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED,
No word of GOD must reach this crowd.

IT'S SCARY HERE I MUST CONFESS,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent pela I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen![/align][/SIZE][/SIZE][/font]

Actually, the law does not prohibit prayer in schools. It only says that prayer cannot be school sponsored/school led/mandatory. The idea that prayer has been outlawed generally comes from Christians who want to feel persecuted. For example, in China, Christians actually can't lawfully pray at all; saying that it is persecution to be unable to force others to pray in America trivializes real persecution.

My intention is not to be mean, but that distortion bothers me.

Thank you, Anna. I just got over having this talk with someone in my church who thinks Christians are being persecuted here. My response - Go to Sudan, North Korea, or Afghanistan. -____-;; You can pray any time you feel like it in school. Also, many Christian toss out the "prayer should be in schools" card without really knowing what they're saying. Mandatory prayer in schools is putting God in the hands of liberal atheists to distort and twist as much as they want. That would most likely also mean praying to Buddha as well to be fair to the other kids or including God as some kind of universal diety who is the same other god - hence the many rivers one well theory or whatever they're calling it now. Not trying to diss the thread, but I just think these issues deserve more thought than just writing up cute devotionals along the "us against the world" line.

As for what the sayings mean:

"GOD Himself does not propose to judge a man 'till he is dead, so why should we?"- unknown

That's a good one to remember. A lot of times we think we have someone so figured out, we're all ready to condemn them, and then God does something in life that makes them change. Just shows that you shouldn't pass judgment on people, because you're not God.

"For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For an attractive face, speek words of kindness. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone" - unknown

Um... well... this isn't really a Christian saying. It's nice, but I mean Buddhists, Hindis, and atheists do all those things too. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of "fortune cookie" devotionals (which now would probably be a good time to exit this thread before MSP manifests XD). The last line is good and can be applied to walking in Christ wherever He leads you.
