Ben F. Meyer quotes

Christianity had never been more itself, more consistent with Jesus and more evidently en route to its own future, than in the launching of the world mission.

Men have presented their plans and philosophies for the remedying of earth's ills, but Jesus stands alone in presenting not a system, but His own personality as capable of supplying the needs of the soul.

I had a nice read on the putt and I said to myself, 'This is for you, Jesus, ' and knocked it in.

If I'm not pointing people to Jesus then I'm wasting my life.

Aggressive Christianity is the world's greatest need.

Very few people changed the world by sitting on their couch.

It is impossible for me to estimate how many of my early impressions of the world, correct and the opposite, came to me through newspapers. Homicide, adultery, no-hit pitching, and Balkanism were concepts that, left to my own devices, I would have encountered much later in life.

The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble.

Christianity could not content itself with building up its own altar; it was absolutely forced to undertake the destruction of the heathen altars. Only from this fanatical intolerance could its apodictic faith take form; this intolerance is, in fact, its absolute presupposition.

Awake! thou that sleepest, arise from the dead! The Lord still lives today. His power has never abated. His Word has never changed. The things He did in Bible days, He still lives to do today. Not a burden is there He cannot bear nor a fetter He cannot break.

Thou has conquered, O pale Galilean.
