I Tried To Find Him On The Christian Cross, But He Was Not There I Went To The Temple Of The Hindus And To The Old Pagodas, But I Could Not Find A Trace Of Him Anywhere. I Searched On The Mountains And In The Valleys But Neither In The Heights Nor In The Depths Was I Able To Find Him. I Went To The Caaba In Mecca, But He Was Not There Either. I Questioned The Scholars And Philosophers But He Was Beyond Their Understanding. I Then Looked Into My Heart And It Was There Where He Dwelled That I Saw Him He Was Nowhere Else To Be Found.
~ Jalal ud- Din Rumi

If people really want to go, and really try all their lives, I think they will get in; for I don't believe there are any locks on that door, or any guards at the gate.

~ Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

The Christian Cannot Be Satisfied So Long As Any Human Activity Is Either Opposed To Christianity Or Out Of Connection With Christianity. Christianity Must Pervade Not Merely All Nations But Also All Of Human Thought.
~ J. Gresham Machen

The Foundation Of True Holiness And True Christian Worship Is The Doctrine Of The Gospel, What We Are To Believe. So When Christian Doctrine Is Neglected, Forsaken, Or Corrupted, True Holiness And Worship Will Also Be Neglected, Forsaken, And Corrupted.
