Sermons in a Nutshell
Charles H. Spurgeon
AMONG LIONS: "And, getting close to Christ, let me say to you now by way of advice, and by way of comfort too, endeavour to be very calm and happy. Do not mind it. Take as little notice of the scoff as ever you can. It is a grand thing to have one deaf ear. Mind that you keep yourself very deaf to slander and reproach, as the psalmist did when he siad, "I was a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs." One blind eye towards the folly of enemies is of more use to a man than two that are always looking about with suspicion. Do not see everything, do not hear everything. When there is a hard word spoken, do not notice it; or if you must hear it, forget it as quickly as ever you can. Love others all the more the less they love you: repay their enmity with love."

Rev. Dr. Tony Campolo
"Commitment doesn't arise out of a hope for reward, but out of gratitude about the generosity of God's love toward us, for greater love hath no man, no woman, than this - no person - that that person laid down his life or her life or their life for a friend."
"On the cross He (Jesus) became everything that we are in order that we might become everything that He is."

[Jesus healed a blind man.]
And the blind man's answer is astounding. He says, I don't care about your religious framework. I'm not concerned with your theology. All I know is: I was blind, but now I see.
Mic drop!

Rev Dr. Yvette Flunder
For God's love has no limits. And God's grace has no measure. And God's power has no boundaries known onto man, for out of God's infinite riches in Jesus, My God giveth. Then He keeps on giving. And God giveth again.

Rev Dr. Neil Cazares-Thomas
We've made a God that is full of conditional love rather than unconditional love. We neglect so often to see through the lens of Jesus and rather only through the lens of our theology - a theology that is often toxic, a theology that is often exclusionary rather than inclusive, a theology that is so often set up to keep many of us on the outside looking in rather than on the inside looking out into the world.

Bishop Gene Robinson
It's funny isn't it? That you can preach a judgmental and vengeful and angry God and nobody will mind. But you start preaching a God that is too accepting, too loving, too forgiving, too merciful, too kind . . . and you are in trouble.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu
You may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low..
