Kirk, the wife of the pastor, was a very earnest Christian lady; and she took hold with my wife, with all her might.
Not that they were not good men, and earnest workers for God; but their controversies had brought them into such relations to the surrounding churches, as to shut me out from all sympathy and cooperation, except with those of their peculiar views.
What had been said in the Christian News, and the fact that I was laboring in that denomination, led to the inference that I agreed with them in their peculiar views, while in fact I did not.

 "Roman Catholicism: Assurance of Salvation" 1 John 5:1-13 February 22, 1998
The Lord covers many sins in all of his children, sins both of the mind and the life, and Protestants have always been ready to admit that the sins of particular Roman Catholics are as susceptible to forgiveness as they hope their own great sins will be.
In many evangelical circles, one knows he is a Christian because he had a conversion experience in church or at a camp meeting or at an evangelistic crusade.

 Classic Sermon from News For Christians: Christian Joy by John A. Broadus
I know that in calling upon Christians to rejoice over their religious privileges and blessings, one is met by the danger of spiritual pride.
It may amount to but little that your names are written on an earthly record as Christians, for that does not prove it true; a man may have a name to live and be dead.

It is from the perspective of these multiple commitments that I wish to explore some serviceable principles for engaging in feminist biblical interpretation that honors Jewish persons and the way they live out their faith.
It is evident from these and related publications that Christian feminism has long struggled with the inclination to deny Christianity's complicity in patriarchal oppression and to vindicate Christianity by making unfavorable comparisons with Judaism or by placing blame on Judaism for such tendencies.

 Alcoholics Anonymous History and the Bible: Its Christian Endeavor Root, and A.A. Co-founder Dr. Bob
Its object shall be to promote an earnest Christian life among its members, to increase their mutual acquaintance, and to make them more useful in the service of God.
Christian Endeavor, however, was far ahead of its time in seeing a practical application of the power of God to produce miraculous cures in our lives.
We hasten to say, in a moment, the Christian Endeavor people were involved in temperance, and other issues, and there is no particular indication that their Christian service work primarily for their churches led them into the arena of curing drunks.

 CHRISTIAN INHERITANCE
Most Christians long to rid themselves of their sinful flesh and people are frequently likened to plants in the Bible.
Now historically many Church Age Christians were imprisoned and martyred for their faith and still remained steadfast, and I am sure that there are those even today to whom this happens, so certainly it is entirely possible that some Christians will earn this crown.
There is no doubt that Christians will be judged for their works, but it is not in the scope of this paper to examine verses to determine the time of this judgment.

 "TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR": MISSIONAL SELF-UNDERSTANDING IN EARLY FREE METHODISM (1860-90)
They believe that their mission is twofold-to maintain the Bible standard of Christianity, and to preach the Gospel to the poor." Some paragraphs later the church declared that "special efforts" must be made to reach the poor.
[14] The protest against "pewed churches" was twofold: the system was poor stewardship, indicating an unacceptably low standard of Christian discipleship and experience; and it discriminated against the poor, violat­ing the biblical standard of community and subverting the church's min­istry to preach the gospel to the poor.
Biblical Christianity is that expression of the gospel which preaches good news to the poor.

 Pakistan Christian Post
In the summer of 1912, the Christian Sadhu Sunder Singh traveled through the snowy Himalayan regions alone and on foot, often refreshed by the beautiful scene trough, which he passed, but more often fatigued to the last degree in his difficult and fruitless search for the holy men he hoped to meet there.
As he trekked through the snowy terrain, on the summit of one of the mountains of the Kailash Range was a deserted Buddhist temple, and which was rarely visited by people.
During these days of spiritual distress, he heard of a Christian saint who had gone over from India to preach in Alexandria, and from him he heard words of life that filled his hopeless soul with joy.

 The Kneeling Christian - Large Print - Author Unknown   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Yet the vast majority of professing Christians scarcely know what "supplication" means; and very many of our churches not only have no prayer-meeting, but sometimes unblushingly condemn such meetings, and even ridicule them.
Most Christians do not give God a chance to show His delight in granting His children's petitions; for their requests are so vague and indefinite.
The half-and-half Christian is of very little use either to God or man. God cannot use him, and man has no use for him, but considers him a hypocrite.

 Life of Mrs. E.G. White - Her Claims Refuted, by D.M. Canright, 1919
She soon accepted all his theories about the Sabbath; that it was the seal of God, the great test of Christianity, and that it must be kept from 6 PM to 6 PM, instead of from sunset to sunset, as they now keep it.
White is regarded by all the Christian world as a false teacher, and this by the most intelligent, devout and earnest Christian workers of this generation.
These earnest Adventist young people are unaware of these early positions of their church, supported by the revelations of the woman whom they are taught to place by the side of the greatest prophets and apostles of past ages.
