Let us be bold enough to ask ourselves as christians whether the church of the lord jesus in the united states has anything to say to our nation and its ideologies of materialism, possessiveness, and the worship of financial security. are we courageous enough to be a sign of contradiction to consumerism through our living faith in jesus christ? are we committed enough to his gospel to become a countercurrent to the drift?

More From Brennan Manning

The old testament records the preparation for the coming of the messiah. the gospels record the coming of the messiah, jesus christ our lord. the book of acts records the propagation of the gospel (the good news) concerning jesus christ. the epistles (letters) explain the gospel and its implications for our lives. the book of revelation anticipates and describes the second coming of jesus christ and the establishment of his eternal kingdom. from beginning to end, the bible glorifies jesus christ and centers on him. its christ-centeredness is one of its wonderful features.
Jesus Book Preparation
When we speak of faith—the faith that can move mountains—we are not speaking of faith in general but of faith in the lord jesus christ. faith in the lord jesus christ can be bolstered as we learn about him and live our religion. the doctrine of jesus christ was designed by the lord to help us increase our faith.
Jesus Moving Mountain
Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Faith Christian Jesus
Let me make it quite clear that when christians say the christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. when they speak of being "in christ" or of christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about christ or copying him. they mean that christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of christians are the physical organism through which christ acts--that we are his fingers and muscles, the cells of his body.
Christian Mean Thinking
You can be committed to church but not committed to christ, but you cannot be committed to christ and not committed to church.
Commitment Church Christ
Not only do we know god by jesus christ alone, but we know ourselves only by jesus christ. we know life and death only through jesus christ. apart from jesus christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor god, nor ourselves.

Similar Quotes
What is wrong with christianity is that it refrains from doing all those things that christ commanded should be done.
Jesus Done Christianity
When the christian doesn't find joy on account of his happenings, he can always find joy in spite of them.
Christian Joy Spite
Sir, i think all christians, whether papists or protestants, agree in the essential articles, and that their differences are trivial, and rather political than religious.
Christian Religious Thinking
If god, in the christmas mystery, reveals himself not as one who remains on high and dominates the universe, but as the one who bends down, descends to the little and poor earth, it means that, to be like him, we should not put ourselves above others, but indeed lower ourselves, place ourselves at the service of others, become small with the small and poor with the poor. it is regrettable to see a christian who does not want to lower himself, who does not want to serve. a christian who struts about is ugly: this is not christian, it is pagan.
