- C.S. Lewis


139
Now that I am a Christian I do not have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable.
- C.S. Lewis

138
Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
- C.S. Lewis

137
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried."

I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost; Christianity without Christ; forgiveness without repentance; salvation without regeneration; politics without God; and Heaven without Hell.
- William Booth
135
Christianity fuels everything I write. Being a Christian means that I am called upon to do battle against lies, injustice, cruelty, hypocrisy--you know, all the virtues in the church of liberalism. As St. Paul said, if Christ is not risen from the dead, then eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
- Ann Coulter
134
The Christian life is not about all the things we do for God--it's about being loved by Him, loving Him in return, and walking in intimate union and communion with Him.
- Nancy Leigh DeMoss
133
The Christian experience, from start to finish, is a journey of faith.
- Watchman Nee
132
That world outside there is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity, it's waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity.
- Leonard Ravenhill
131
Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, but a relationship and a lifestyle. The core of that lifestyle is thinking of others, as Jesus did, instead of ourselves.
- Rick Warren
130
No sciences are better attested than the religion of the Bible.
- Isaac Newton
129
The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'
- Billy Graham
128
The basic trouble with the church today is her unworthy concept of God... Our religion is weak because our God is weak... Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending on her concept of God.
- A. W. Tozer
127
The sum of the whole matter is this: He who is one in will and heart with God is a Christian. He who loves God is one in will and heart with Him. He who trusts Christ loves God. That is Christianity in its ultimate purpose and result. That is Christianity in its means and working forces. That is Christianity in its starting point and foundation.
- Alexander MacLaren
126
If the Christian faith gets too identified with a party, it reduces Christianity to a political position
- Tim Keller
124
The use or abuse of Christianity in contradiction to the very message of the gospel reveals not the gospel for what it is, but the heart of man. That is why atheism is so bankrupt as a view of life, for it miserably fails to deal with the human condition as it really is.
- Ravi Zacharias
123
Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
122
Christianity is not just repeating John 3:16 or Acts 16:31; it is yielding the heart and the life to Christ.

The fundamental principle of Christianity is to be what God is, and he is light.
- John Hagee

We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy. I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatever.

119
There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions.
- G.K. Chesterton
118
I learned more about Christianity from my mother than from all the theologians in England.
- John Wesley
117
To dwell on the past simply causes failure in the present. While you are sitting down and bemoaning the past and regretting all the things you have not done, you are crippling yourself and preventing yourself from working in the present. Is that Christianity? Of course it is not.
- Martyn Lloyd-Jones
116
If you feel that you can follow a few little rules or some clever gimmicks to make you a mature Christian, then you have fallen into a subtle trap of legalism.
- J. Vernon McGee
115
The sum of the whole matter is this: He who is one in will and heart with God is a Christian. He who loves God is one in will and heart with Him. He who trusts Christ loves God. That is Christianity in its ultimate purpose and result. That is Christianity in its means and working forces. That is Christianity in its starting point and foundation.
- Alexander MacLaren
114
Christianity, as Christ taught, is the truest philosophy of life ever spoken. But let us be quite sure when we speak of Christianity, that we mean Christ's Christianity.
- Henry Drummond
113
The Christian life is very much like climbing a hill of ice. You cannot slide up. You have to cut every step with an ice axe. Only with incessant labor in cutting and chipping can you make any progress. If you want to know how to backslide, leave off going forward. Cease going upward and you will go downward of necessity. You can never stand still.
- Charles Spurgeon
112
Many there are who, while they bear the name of Christians, are totally unacquainted with the power of their divine religion. But for their crimes the Gospel is in no wise answerable. Christianity is with them a geographical, not a descriptive, appellation.
- Frederick W. Faber
111
If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be: if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all.
- C.S. Lewis
109
Christianity is a love relationship between a child of God and his Maker through the Son Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity, perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together, in religious societies, may not be one of the least.
- George Whitefield
107
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
- Francis Bacon
106
We must be the same person in private and in public. Only the Christian worldview gives us the basis for this kind of integrity.
- Chuck Colson
105
If I get well and write a book on Christianity, about which we have talked, we can attend more fully to this matter; but if I should be taken away suddenly, I do not wish to leave any duty of this kind unperformed. I want to leave somewhere a declaration of my belief in Christianity.
- Daniel Webster
104
Secularism, with its moral relativism, is in direct opposition to Christianity and its absolute morality. The battle is between these two worldviews--one that stands on God's Word and one that accepts man's opinions.
- Ken Ham
103
There's not much practical Christianity in the man who lives on better terms with angels and seraphs, than with his children, servants and neighbors.
- Henry Ward Beecher
101
I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe

99
Christianity removes the attraction of the earth; and this is one way in which it diminishes men's burden. It makes them citizens of another world.
- Henry Drummond
98
May the Christian church never be regarded as a special interest group. We're here because we love our neighbor.
- Chuck Colson
97
As we live a life that is about as unlike Jesus as you can get, a life of comfort and coddling undreamt of by billions around the world; a lifestyle in the top 10% of the earth today (-in debt up to our eyeballs all the while) - the fact is that we don't really CARE that we have lost original Christianity, do we? We are too busy, man. Don't bother us with that kind of talk.
- Andrew Strom
96
oday, we have a Christianity made easy as an accommodation to an age that is unwilling to face the implication of Calvary, and the gospel of 'simply believism' has produced a harvest of professions which have done untold harm to the cause of Christ.
- Duncan Campbell
95
Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed.
- C.S. Lewis
94
If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
- Charles Spurgeon
93
Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.
- G.K. Chesterton
