If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made.Collection: Christian
... at the beginning of the human race the woman was made of a rib taken from the side of the man while he slept; for it seemed fit that even then Christ and His Church should be foreshadowed in this event.

We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, which people see as ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn.Collection: Christian

He was a great Christian man; but one time, he was living with a white family and this white family robbed him of what he earned. They didn't pay him anything.

Joe Pulliam knew what this white man had been doing to him so he kept the $150 and didn't go.Collection: Christian

In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world.Collection: Christian
