Ok–here is a collection of Christian quotes or quotes by Christians, depending on who said it, I guess (and some of them may be a surprise…Hope they make you think.<\/em><\/p>\n

“If you look upon ham and eggs and lust, you have already committed breakfast in your heart.”\u00a0C.S. Lewis<\/p>\n

The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life. James L. Christensen<\/p>\n

LOVE THIS ONE<\/strong><\/em>:::\u00a0The fewer the words, the better the prayer.-Martin Luther \u00a0<\/p>\n

We should live our lives as though Christ was coming this afternoon.\u00a0– Jimmy Carter \u00a0
\n \u00a0 \u00a0
\nIf Christ is the wisdom of God and the power of God in the experience of those who trust and love him, there needs no further argument of his divinity. Henry Ward Beecher <\/p>\n

Faith is a living and unshakable confidence. a belief in God so assured that a man would die a\u00a0thousand deaths for its sake. —\u00a0Martin Luther<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you knew that only a few would care that you came, would you still come? If you knew that those you loved would laugh in your face, would you still care? If you knew that the tongues you made would mock you, the mouths you made would spit at you, the hands you made would crucify you, would you still make them? Christ did.
\nMax Lucado<\/p>\n
