“Crosses are not the places where faith is killed but where it is proven.”
- Calvin Miller author of The Christ of Easter

“The cross is the way of the lost
the cross is the staff of the lame
the cross is the guide of the blind
the cross the strength of the weak
the cross is the hope of the hopeless
the cross is the freedom of the slaves
the cross the water of the seeds
the cross is the consolation of the labourers
the cross is the source of those who seek water
the cross is the cloth of the naked”
