For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.
- John Calvin -
Quotes
Jesus was a revolutionary, who did not become an extremist, since he did not offer an ideology, but Himself. He was also a mystic, who did not use his intimate relationship with God to avoid the social evils of his time, but shocked his milieu to the point of being executed as a rebel. In this sense he also remains for nuclear man the way to liberation and freedom.

Avoid such people."

Quotes
A creature revolting against a creator is revolting against the source of his own powers, including even his power to revolt. It is like the scent of a flower trying to destroy the flower.
- C. S. Lewis -
Quotes
The resurrection declared that Jesus was not the ordinary sort of political king, a rebel leader, that some had supposed. He was the leader of a far larger, more radical revolution than anyone had ever supposed. He was inaugurating a whole new world, a new creation, a new way of being human.
- N. T. Wright (PhD) -
Quotes
Being a Christian means being a rebel like Jesus. But not as a rebel against God, but against the ways of the world which is driven by evil. And yes, evil does exist.
- Chris D. Cisions -
Quotes
There is no doubt that God will never be wanting to us, provided that he finds in us the humility which makes us worthy of his gifts, the desire of passing them, and the prompitude to co-operate industriously with the graces he gives us.
- St. Ignatius of Loyola -
Quotes
There is no greater love story. The Judge of the universe chased after those who rebelled against Him. People made themselves God’s enemies by rejecting His rule and following their own desires. Yet God so loves His “enemies” that He sent His Son to pay the penalty for their crimes. God’s wrath was satisfied as Jesus hung on the cross.
- Francis Chan -
Quotes
If we rebel against the God who created us, theres not much left to rebel against. And maybe thats the point.

In the U.S., the self-made independent citizen is revered by a society known for rebelling against the British King. Extending this practice to God will eventually be our/your downfall.
- Chris D. Cisions -
Quotes
Jesus is not respectable or nice in the sense of being placid or uncontroversial. He is not necessarily a good citizen. Jesus is wildly and prophetically subversive, because beyond our affluent comfortable suburbs, not all is right. And something has to change.
- Craig Warren Greenfield -
Quotes
Pride is the central citadel of independence of God.
- Oswald Chambers -
Quotes
Nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner.
