day no. 17,146: Christianity cannot be kinda

“One must keep on pointing out that Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.” — G.K. Chesterton 

Because Christ rose from the dead, Christianity cannot be ignored. It cannot be a nothingburger. If it were false, you could dismiss it as unnecessary or relativize it as just another world religion. But if it is true, and it is, then it cannot be take it or leave it. It cannot be milquetoast. Lukewarm Christianity is an oxymoron. Nominal belief is a contradiction in terms.

"Paganism was the biggest thing in the world, and Christianity was bigger, and everything since has been comparatively small." — G.K. Chesterton

Christianity is too significant to snuff out. It is a good fire consuming bad things an purifying good things. It is an unquenchable fire fueled by the Spirit of God.

“Christianity even when watered down is hot enough to boil all modern society to rags.” — G.K. Chesterton

The basic tenets of the Christian faith are enough to take over the world. If that is the case, how much more so will a robust and rounded out Christianity that is pushed to the corners? Christ is King and His kingdom is growing. There is nothing over which He does not claim jurisdiction. The refining fire will not fail. The world will be baptized. The world will be purified. Amen.
