The Power of Christ

     "Most people in the world look to politics, science and education for solutions to life's problems. I believe part of our dilemma is that we preach a weak, watered-down Christ...and Gospel. 

     "It was the resurrection that caused disciples to go out as burning revolutionaries to change the world. The risen Christ wants to come into our hearts today. Beware. He is a disturber. 

by the late Billy Graham

     "He came to bring a sword (Matthew 10:34). He came to divide even families. People reject Christ because it costs too much to follow him in this secular, pleasure-mad age. We Christians share the guilt. We limit Christ to the sanctuary, to the temple, to our religious area. 

     "Between Sundays he is rarely mentioned. We spend too little time reading his word or praying. The impotent Christ of (some churches) bears little resemblance of the Christ that Isaiah wrote about...the Christ that dared to challenge the world. 

     "Christ went to the temple. Then he went into the streets. His love and compassion broke the bounds of class, race and creed. 'The common people heard him gladly.'" (Mark 12:37).
