Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem
Christianity is not clay in the hands of the world-spirit to be molded by it, but is itself to be the moulder of public sentiment and everything else.
Rev. Francis Grimke
Contemporary people tend to examine the Bible, looking for things they can’t accept; but Christians should reverse that, allowing the Bible to examine us, looking for things God can’t accept.
Dr. Tim Keller
I will build my church.
Jesus
“A pretty good test of a man’s religion is how it affects his pocketbook.”
Francis J. Grimke
“It cannot be denied that too often the weight of the Christian movement has been on the side of the strong and the powerful and against the weak and oppressed—this, despite the gospel.”
Howard Thurman
“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“I cannot believe that the men who occupy the pulpits of this land, assuming that they are men of ordinary intelligence and common sense and that they have, as they ought to have as leaders, some little knowledge, at least, of the Word of God, are without some convictions on the subject (of race prejudice), that they do not know that it is wrong, contrary to every principle of Christianity.”
Francis J. Grimke
“Everything we do should hasten the day when ‘the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.’”
Dr. Carl Ellis
“In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.”
Howard Thurman
“The humblest peasant is as free in the sight of God as the proudest monarch that ever swayed a scepter. Liberty is a spirit sent from God and like its great Author is no respecter of persons.”
Henry Highland Garnet
