I heard a great quote earlier this week that I wanted to share...
"The early Christians did not need a shot in the arm every Sunday to keep them going. They knew Jesus and they upset their world, and worried the devil, and gave wicked rulers insomnia, and started something that jails couldn't lock up, fire couldn't burn up, water couldn't drown, and swords couldn't kill. This world has never been moved by cold, calculating brass hats, but by fools, with their facts on fire. You may belittle the experience and speak of the dangers of emotion, but we are suffering 
today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads, but of consumed hearts."
