“The human body when kept in an indoor environment of low lux light will not realize that it is daytime, as it cannot sense the increasing levels of daylight that the genetics are accustomed to. As such, by late morning your body may start sending a signal for you to sleep!”
― Steven Magee, Electrical Forensics

“Consumerism is a restless spirit that is never content with any particular material thing. In this sense, consumerism has some affinities with Christian asceticism, which counsels a certain detachment from material things. The difference is that, in consumerism, detachment continually moves us from one product to another, whereas in Christian life, asceticism is a means to a greater attachment to God and to other people. We are consumers in the Eucharist, but in consuming the body of Christ we are transformed into the body of Christ, drawn into the divine life in communion with other people. We consume in the Eucharist, but we are thereby consumed by God.”
― William T. Cavanaugh, Being Consumed: Economics and Christian Desire

― Holly Sprink, Faith Postures: Cultivating Christian Mindfulness

“He’s not going to applaud us for becoming famous during our lifetimes; He’s going to ask us how we used our spotlight to bring Him glory.
He’s not going to ask us how many trophies and awards we received; He’s going to ask us how we used our gifts to build the body of Christ.”
― Tessa Emily Hall, Coffee Shop Devos: Daily Devotional Pick-Me-Ups for Teen Girls

“Give other Christians permission to be different from you. You're not the only Christ-follower in the world, and neither are you the most committed. Your way of loving Jesus is neither the only way for the best. If you don't know that, your Christian world is way too small.”
― Will Davis Jr., 10 Things Jesus Never Said: And Why You Should Stop Believing Them

“The hordes of demonic activity at times can take advantage of those who are wounded by others in the body of Christ. When we allow any hurt we can be used of the enemy to sow discord into God's work and His body.”
― Greg Gordon

“In whatever way you can do so, according to the talents and gifts God has given you, you are to be salt, and light, and whatever part of the Body of Christ you were made to be. You need to tell us what's going on with you so the rest of the Body (of which you are a part) can work together with you.”

“Believers usually only have fellowship with those in their own church or group. This segregation is divisive. Intentional actions are needed to go visit and fellowship with believers that are not in their regular group. This greeting will grow the one fellowship of Jesus Christ which is the oneness of the body.”
― Henry Hon, ONE: Unfolding God's Eternal Purpose from House to House

“Strange how this war was making them all Americans.”
― Newt Gingrich and William R Forstchen

“The deeper irony is that the evidence of sin that are always found in and around the body of Christ may become indirect intimations of its holiness. It could not be a holy church if it had clean hands, as if severed from its task of saving sinners and healing human hurt.”
― Thomas C. Oden, Corrective Love: The Power of Communion Discipline

― Henry Hon, ONE: Unfolding God's Eternal Purpose from House to House

“Today, most believers are segregated and isolated in their church or in their home. If believers accept Paul's directive to seek out other believers and greet them, the Lord will have a way to build up the assembly, His body. Although there are so many churches and Christian groups today, believers can still heed Paul's command to go and greet fellow believers in other groups. In God's eyes all of His children are in one family, in the one body of Christ. As such, believers should not acknowledge any division.”
― Henry Hon, ONE: Unfolding God's Eternal Purpose from House to House

“I asked the daunting question; If my church were to cease to exist today, would anyone notice we were gone? Would anyone even care to know, or even notice that the church is gone as the body of Christ has been so active in the community loving Jesus?”
― Jonathan Hayashi

“When the body of Christ unites, the enemy will have no one to divide.”
― Gift Gugu Mona

“Religion is a framework designed for the sole purpose of enhancing our relationship with God. And at the point that it becomes the focus of our worship instead of that which facilitates it, it has become a religion unto itself. And that is a cult of the most cultish sort that I can imagine.”
