"We are prepared to live by what God says, not what you say. Man shall not sleep with man, woman shall not sleep with woman." --Archbishop Peter Jasper Akinola

"Self-mastery is a far greater possession that the possession of earth goods. If we do not possess ourselves, we may possess all the fine things of life and be unable to use them to any advantage." --Paramanananda

I just read a book called "Every Man A Priest" by Karl H. Hertz. It was published in the 1940's or so. It is a powerful book. Here are some quotations.

"Every Christian is expected to be a prophet. This is a hard fact, usually carefully obscured, neglected, and sometimes denied." --Karl H. Hertz

"I protest against the perversion of the authority of the Christian into a service of the status quo. Where the Christian sees injustice, he must speak out in prophetic protest. To do otherwise is to betray the will of God." --Karl H. Hertz

"The life of faith must be one of faithful obedience. The Christian lives the life of faith at all times, not just in church on Sunday morning." --Karl H. Hertz

"The prophet must witness to what the Spirit compels him to say, humbly and openly, neither in anger against his protagonist, nor with an air of moral superiority." --Karl H. Hertz

"When respectability prevents the members of a church from discharging their responsibility to all segments of society, it assumes an exclusive character not in harmony with justice or love." --Karl H. Hertz

Good stuff, eh?

"He that believes receives the Power, and the Power of God expels away that which darkens life and captivates peoples' souls, spirits, and minds. The Power of God gives them liberty which gives them dominion over that which burdened them." --George Fox

"The grace of God will bring you salvation if you mind it, regard it, and take heed to it." --George Fox

"Most Christians have turned away from the Anointing within to human teaching." --George Fox

"When Christian worship lost its spontaneity and became organized and mechanized with human leadership more apparent than Divine leadership, the Living Presence in the midst was no longer felt so strongly." -- Howard H. Brinton

"To labor to be established in Divine love so that the mind is disentangled from the power of darkness is the great business of life." --John Wollman

"To be like Christ is to be a Christian." --William Penn

"The Lord Jesus has manifested Himself and His power without respect of persons and so let all mouths be stopped that would limit Him." --Margaret Fell

"Hunting God is a great adventure." --Marie DeFloris

"He that preaches the Kingdom of God in words, without victory, is a thief." --James Nayler

"Turn to the Lord in spirit, He is within you; and there if you wait in spirit, you shall hear Him speak to your spirit." --James Nayler
