Velcro Sayings
Some phrases are so packed with meaning, they stick in your mind like super velcro! You turn them over and over, regarding them from different angles with each turn. One such was William Carey’s admonition, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.” Another was Katie Luther’s dying words, “I will stick to Christ as a burr to a coat.” These are quotations to be remembered.
Now, in a series called “In Context” Christian History Institute presents the stories behind seventy such stellar sayings. In Context spans twenty centuries, beginning with Mary’s Magnificat and ending with Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s “Bless you, prison, for having been in my life.” Every century is represented at least once.
