A good sermon is an engineering operation by which a chasm is bridged so that the spiritual goods on one side-the `unsearchable riches of Christ` - are actually transported into personal lives upon the other.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
To accept Christ is to receive Him by faith as your Lord and Savior. But, strictly speaking, the great thing to see is that God has accepted Christ. He took our sins upon Himself, died to make propitiation (the sacrifice which removed the anger of God) fo...

Church isn’t where you meet. Church isn’t a building. Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let’s not go to Church, let’s be the Church.
Bridget Willard
If any man ascribes anything of salvation, even the very least thing, to the free will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ rightly
Martin Luther
Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

The vow of celibacy is a matter of keeping one`s word to Christ and the Church. a duty and a proof of the priest`s inner maturity; it is the expression of his personal dignity.

Time was with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world like a magic ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home enjoyments, affections, and hopes; grouped everything and everyone round the ChristCharles Dickens
I`m personally trying to change my image and change things about myself but they don`t want to let it die. I guess there are more sales in controversy. They should change the title of `Hard Copy` to Hard Charlie or Sheen Copy, Christ I`m on there twice a ...

About the The Passion of the Christ (2004): This movie is about faith, hope, love and forgiveness. Themes that are as important now as they were in Jesus` time.
Mel Gibson
Asked if he felt besieged by the opposition to The Passion of the Christ (2004): Beseiged? No, not really. They`re pretty pathetic actually. I sort of look at them now and feel sorry for them. They`ve given their best shot, they kind of came out with this...

[On his role in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)]: "To this day, I can`t believe I was so brazen to think I could pull off the Jesus role."
Willem Dafoe
(On The Da Vinci Code) I`d love to make a movie that shakes the world and offends people, but I really. Didn`t think it was going to be this one. I think next to The Last Temptation of Christ it`s Tonka Toys. Nobody seemed to get offended by Martin Scorse...

I thought it was a powerful piece of filmmaking. I`m a practicing Catholic, and you know I think Mel and I may be from different wings of the Catholic Church. My film might have been called `The Compassion of the Christ.` - On The Passion of the Christ (2...

I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, `Man, you were so honest - can`t you have some fun? Can`t you do some really down and dirty lying?` But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I`l...
Willem Dafoe
I`m not a preacher, and I`m not a pastor. But I really feel my career was leading me to make The Passion of the Christ (2004). The Holy Ghost was working through me on this film, and I was just directing traffic. I hope the film has the power to evangeliz...

Asked whether The Passion of the Christ (2004) would be offensive to Jews today: "It`s not meant to. I think it`s meant to just tell the truth. I want to be as truthful as possible. But when you look at the reasons Christ came, he was crucified - he died ...

On asked who he would invite to a dinner party he answered: "I`d have to have Jesus Christ there - I`d like to check him out. I`d also have to have [the Italian revolutionary] Garibaldi, because he`s a hero of mine, and I`d invite Shakespeare and King Hen...
Jamie Bamber
Opposition to The Passion of the Christ (2004) kind of put me back on my heels a little bit ... I expected some level of turbulence because when one delves into religion and politics - people`s deeply held beliefs -- you`re going to stir things up ... But...
Mel Gibson
On her film Dawn of the Dead (2004) going up against Mel Gibson`s The Passion of the Christ (2004) head-to-head at the box office: "They`ve got only one guy who comes back from the dead. We`ve got millions".
