Christian Quote by N. T. Wright
““Many people think that being Christian makes you sort of subhuman or, at least, less than fully human. Guys out there on the street (people think) are having a wonderful time enjoying human life to the fullest, and we in the church are sort of cramped and constricted. Well, things shouldn't be that way. Being a Christian is supposed to make you more truly human , more fully yourself. That means that you are supposed to become somebody who is reflecting the image of God.””
