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.
If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible which I do including dental and paid pregnancy leave. That's not called capitalism that's called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie.
The path I am trying so hard to follow is in fact the one that God my Father and His Son Jesus Christ want me to pursue. It has brought me deep happiness.
But if you believe in Christ and that your main goal with your life is supposed to be to honor Him and do His will then you don't have as much pressure as someone who bases all their happiness on whether they're a movie star.
I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.
I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.
By far the most important factor in the success or failure of any school far more important than tests or standards or business-model methods of accountability is simply attracting the best-educated most exciting young people into urban schools and keeping them there.
