The Cross and the Switchblade

Nicky Cruz: "You come near me and I'll kill you!"
David Wilkerson: "Yeah, you could do that. You could cut me up into a thousand pieces and lay them in the street, and every piece will still love you."

This is obviously an old movie (1970). It is a classic among Christian films. Some may consider the acting and directing to be a bit cheesy, but it has changed lives and influenced many to get involved in ministering to drug addicts and gangsters. It inspired me as well, going into neighborhoods where most people are very afraid to even go near, including but not limited to The Robert Taylor Projects and Cabrini Green in Chicago. Very few Christian movies go into the nitty gritty business of exploring "street evangelism", fewer still, offer even a glimpse of the serious prayers and tears involved in such anguish of soul. I don't think David Wilkerson would've had it any other way.

Christianaudio is offering Basic Christianity by John Stott as their free audiobook of the month.

“The Christian message has a moral challenge. If the message is true, the moral challenge has to be accepted. So God is not a fit object for man’s detached scrutiny. You cannot fix God at the end of a telescope or a microscope and say “How interesting!” God is not interesting. He is deeply upsetting. The same is true of Jesus Christ … We know that to find God and to accept Jesus Christ would be a very inconvenient experience. It would involve the rethinking of our whole outlook on life and the readjustment of our whole manner of life. And it is a combination of intellectual and moral cowardice which makes us hesitate. We do not find because we do not seek. We do not seek because we do not want to find..."
