Lynne Hybels

Die US-amerikanische Autorin, Rednerin und Aktivistin Lynne Hybels begründete ab 1975 die überkonfessionelle Megachurch Willow Creek Community Church bei Chicago mit. Bekannt wurde sie vor allem durch ihr weltweites humanitäres Engagement sowie ihren Einsatz für soziale Gerechtigkeit und Frieden im Nahen Osten, der in Teilen des US-Evangelikalismus auf Kritik stieß. Bibellesern begegnet sie als Mahnerin zu einer gelebten Nachfolge, die persönlichen Glauben untrennbar mit praktischer Nächstenliebe und Versöhnungsarbeit verbindet.

The strongest faith isn't a faith that never doubts. Rather, it's a faith that grows through doubts.

Craig Groeschel

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it but because, by it, I see everything else.

C.S. Lewis

Do you see the moon standing there? It's only half visible, and yet it's round and lovely! So it is with many things that we lightly laugh about, because our eyes cannot see them.

Matthias Claudius

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

C.S. Lewis

Now that I am a Christian I do not have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable.

C.S. Lewis

Faith comes and goes. It rises and falls like the tides of an invisible ocean. If it is presumptuous to think that faith will stay with you forever, it is just as presumptuous to think that unbelief will.

Flannery O'Connor

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

William Shakespeare
