2. – John 1:4
“In him was life, and that life was the light of
all mankind. 5 The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness has not
overcome[a] it.”
3. – 1 John 2:9-11
“1 Jn 2:9-11 (Phi) Anyone who claims to be
"in the light" and hates his brother is, in
fact, still in complete darkness. The man
who loves his brother lives in the light and
has no reason to stumble. But the man who
hates his brother is shut off from the light
and gropes his way in the dark without
knowing where he is going.”

6. “Remember!—It is Christianity to do
good always--even to those who do evil
to us. It is Christianity to love our
neighbors as ourself, and to do to all
men as we
would have them do to us. It is
Christianity to be gentle,
merciful and forgiving, and to
keep those qualities quiet
in our own hearts, and never
make a boast of them or of our
prayers or of our love of God,
but always to show that we love
Him by humbly trying to do right in
everything. If we do this, and remember
the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, and try to act up to them, we may
confidently hope that God will forgive us
our sins and mistakes, and enable us to
live and die in peace.”
― Charles Dickens

George Muller 1805 -1898
“Faith does not operate in the realm of
the possible. There is no glory for God
in that which is humanly possible.
Faith begins where man's power
ends.”
9. More Renegades
JERRY MCCAULEY – THE WATER STREET
MISSION
“The world’s first rescue mission – where the
drunkard was more welcome than the sober man,
the thief preferred to the honest man, the harlot
favored over the beautiful woman”. (The Roots of
Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Pittman, p. 80) This took
place in New York City on October 8th, 1872

10. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
(World War II)
“The Church is the Church only when it
exists for others . . . not dominating, but
helping and serving. It must tell men of
every calling what it means to live for
Christ, to exist for others.”
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil:
God will not hold us guiltless. Not to
speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
“God loves human beings. God loves the
world. Not an ideal human, but human
beings as they are; not an ideal world,
but the real world. What we find repulsive
in their opposition to God, what we shrink
back from with pain and hostility... this is
for God the ground of unfathomable
love.”
12. https://aabeyondbelief.org/2015/10/14/jerry-mcauley-the-water-street-mission/
