Hope for the Church

Reading the following quote from Tim Keller reminded me what others have previously said about the Church.


"If you try to put the Church to death, it leads to resurrection."
- Tim Keller (1950 - )


"The blood of the martyrs is the seed [of the Church]."
-Tertullian (ca 160-220 A.D.) see side bar


"...I will build my Church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." - Jesus (Mat 16:18 NLT)
