Night Bird Calling Quotes

“Jesus called Jews of every social rank. He called women and children and people from Samaria and tax collectors and prostitutes and the down and out to himself. He called unlearned fishermen for the greatest work in the history of the world. He called the humble and the penitent and those who were smart enough to recognize their need of a savior and to see that need fulfilled in him. Those people followed him, surrendered their all to him and obeyed his commands. They are the ones who deserve the name " Christian"- Christ followers. Anything less, anything Pharisaic and legalistic and arrogant, takes his name in vain.”

“I sighed. I don't know what to do. Velma Richards seems like a woman who will carry out her threat". "No Doubt It's a crusade for her. " Moments passed. "Not much Christian about it is there?" I felt like snorting. I don't know it pretty well fits with what I've come to expect of Christians.”
