Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.
For many people, the reluctance to embrace Christianity is as practical as it is intellectual. They want to know what the benefits of Christianity are, or what's in it for them.
Democracy, as has been said of Christianity, has never really been tried.
Clearly a big challenge for Christianity is how to remain in contact with the millions of people who look for God but do not come to Church.
Christianity is not some ideal toward which we ought always to strive even though the ideal is out of reach. Christianity is not a series of slogans that sum up our beliefs.

Christianity is in its nature revolutionary.
Christianity is a very historical religion - it makes specific claims that are open to testing.
It is the easiest thing in the world to become a Christian - ten thousand times easier than it is to hold out unrepenting against the motives which God presents to the mind, to induce it to forsake its evil thoughts and turn unto Him.
It's impossible to be a good Christian. If you think it's easy to be a good Christian, then you're not really trying hard enough.
