Christianity
"Christianity is not without logic but it’s greatest truth cannot be proved by logic alone."—Gordon Venturella, Not Without A Doubt
"A lot of people have that view of Christianity. That it’s about a list of rules that you have to follow, and if you don’t follow them, guess what, you’re going to spend a night in the box. After all, who wants to be a part of that? Who wants to be a part of this rule-giving institution, hypocritical in many cases, that just threatens you with just spending a night in the box."—Gordon Venturella, Life In A Box
“The Gospels do not leave us with volumes of theological or bureaucratic bylaws, they leave us with stories.”—Gordon Venturella, A Life That Backs Up Our Lips
"The word of God was not designed, was not written, so that we might fill our minds with doctrinal platitudes that we might be able to out-argue someone else from another religious group point by point. It was meant to lead us to love so that we can become a different person."
-Gordon Venturella, How To Be Loving
"Christians of all people should be aware of what's going on within them and around them. Too often, quite frankly, it's just the opposite. Too often Christians in general and the churches they attend are the last ones to know because they have become so preoccupied with pursuing their own self-righteousness that they don't know what's going on around them or within them." -Gordon D. Venturella, How To Be Attentive
"Too many celebrate when they should mourn and mourn when they should celebrate. Maybe if Christians would do a better job showing the watching world what celebration is all about then the world would see Jesus a bit more clearly and they would celebrate too. Maybe because of the distortion that the Church and Christians have produced, the world rejects a Jesus they really don't know. In my experience most people reject Christ and the Church not because of the real Jesus, but because of a misrepresented Jesus that really doesn't exist." -Gordon D. Venturella
