Pastoral Resources

Our covering ministry is Challenge for Christ ministries, and Travel the Road was solely our mission arm, designed to expose people to what missions are, then connect them with agencies that send people out.

Here, you can walk into a bookstore and pick up a Bible or Christian literature and learn. Over there, they are lucky if they have one Bible for a whole village.

The Church is presided over personally by Jesus Christ.

He put a ring in the toe of a stocking. On Christmas Eve, we opened our stockings and it was there at the bottom of the toe. Then he got down on his knees and he was shaking.

I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it.

That's the true spirit of Christmas; people being helped by people other than me.

I never really did Christmas before. Christmas Day? I mean - what's that? What's it all about? I was always flying on Christmas Day.

Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament.

I'm so depressed. Christmas is the worst of all. Holidays are terrible, worse than Sundays. I get melancholia.

Then Christ shall be clothed with all the beauty of the elect as if with a long tunic variously adorned, in which He shall shine as if covered with all manner of precious stones.

I am drawn to Christ but I have real problems with the Catholic Church.

As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.

It is an invention of the devil, an infernal falsity for the destruction of all Christianity.

I do not separate Christ from God more than a voice from the speaker or a beam from the sun. Christ is the voice of the speaker. He and the Father are the same thing, as the beam and the light, are the same light.

Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store.

Sir, there is no Christian nation, thus free to choose as we are, which would establish slavery.

My ordination in the Church of God in Christ was at age 9, and I later became a Baptist minister, which I am today.

During my 2004 presidential campaign, I was fond of saying that it was high time for the Christian right to meet the right Christians.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

Christianity is the only major religion to have as its central event the humiliation of its God.
