on Bible - Productivity is Godly. Growth is Godly. And waste is Ungodly
“The
real Atheist has been to church, read the Bible and has touched the things that
are God’s. But something happens; somehow, somewhere he is broken by a
condition and rebels. Yet his rebellion is not against God but against his own
inability to comprehend and reconcile the happenings around him and to him.”

“Jesus
Christ is the light of the world, the hope of the nations, and the Savior of
our souls. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through him.”

“While
'clear' evidence points to the suspect from the onset (before he is contacted),
'cloaked' evidence points to the suspect only in hindsight (after he is
identified)...The cloaked prophecies are limited in their ability to *point* us
to the Messiah. They may, however, help or *confirm* his identity once we have
him in view.”

Warner Wallace, Person of Interest: Why Jesus Still Matters in a World that
Rejects the Bible
“In
the blood of Jesus, I find my peace,
A
love that flows and never will cease.
It
washes away my every stain,
And
makes me new again and again.”

“All
the scientists were upstaged at least 2,500 years earlier by Job, Moses, David,
Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other Bible authors. The Bible’s prophets and apostles
stated explicitly and repeatedly the two most fundamental properties of the big
bang, a transcendent cosmic beginning a finite time ago and a universe
undergoing a general expansion.”

of the Century Reveal God
“You
know who is the easiest to fool? People who want to believe in something badly.
… if we really want something to be true, we are easily persuaded. … we will
even sell ourselves on the idea.”

were not.”

“Judaea
was not a forgotten backwater in the Roman world. Jews represented about ten
percent of the population of the western empire and about twenty percent of the
population of the eastern empire. By comparison, Jews represent only about two
per cent of the population of the United States today. Never, since the fall of
Judah to Babylon in the sixth century BC until the twentieth century had Jews
comprised so large a part of any body politic.”

James Allen Moseley, Biographies of Jesus' Apostles: Ambassadors in Chains
“Jesus’
ministry lasted 1,350 days, spanning five calendar years (AD 29–33), fifty
calendar months, and 44.36 months (calculated as being of 30.5 days’ average
duration). The gospels have gaps in their narratives in which Jesus disappears
from the pages of history. The gaps total 770 days, which is about two years,
representing fifty-seven percent of Jesus’ total ministry time. No wonder John
wrote “Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are
not written in this book” (John 20:30) and “There are many more things that
Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world
itself would have space for the books that would be written” (John 21:25).”

“For
two centuries, Christians would be a persecuted minority. There was no worldly
reward for being Christian. Being a follower of Christ took courage. The twelve
apostles, and their first-century co-workers, suffered tribulation and
sometimes death as they fulfilled the Great Commission Jesus had given them
(Matt 28:19–20). They turned an iron empire upside down and changed our world
forever.”

“Before
you pray these prayers, you must first be in right standing with Jesus Christ.
In other words, you must truly be a born-again believer, sanctified and washed
in the blood of Jesus Christ.”

“Jerome
says Peter founded the church in Antioch, Syria. If so, January 15–22, AD 34
was probably the time when Peter did it.”

“The
disciples were, most likely, rather well off. Peter and Andrew were business
partners of James and John (Luke 5:7, 10). James and John, under the
supervision of their father, Zebedee, ran a fishing business wealthy enough to
employ multiple hired men (Mark 1:19–20).”

“Productivity
is Godly. Growth is Godly. And waste is Ungodly - both the waste of present
resources and the waste of potential gains.”

Paulo Bitencourt, Perdendo Tempo Com Deus: Por Que Sou Ateu
“What
was it about the fig tree that was unsatisfactory to Jesus? Well if we use our
context clues, we can deduce that the only thing that made this fig tree
different than all of the other fig trees that Jesus must have encountered is
that it was unfruitful - it was unproductive relative to its potential. To be a
fig tree that does not produce figs is an insult to the creator, and arguably a
waste of space - a bad investment.”
