Monday with D. James Kennedy

Posted on Monday, December 7th, 2009 by Ali Johnson

D. James Kennedy was a pastor, TV presenter, theologian and founder of a seminary. I found this quote a year or so ago and have mused over it for a while now. D. James Kennedy "The truth is: had Jesus never been the born the world would be a far more miserable than it is.

Monday with Mike Tyson

Posted on Sunday, November 29th, 2009 by Ali Johnson

Mike TysonMike Tyson is retired American boxer who caused controversy both inside and outside of the ring. He can divide opinion hugely. I stumbled on this quote a while a go and it intrigues me. "Everybody says they believe in God but they don't do God's work. Everybody counteracts what God is really about. If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love?

He would talk ...
