Church Quotes

You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can’t you hear it in my voice? Picture Quote #1

I think you’ve got good people and bad people in everything you do. If you start making a big deal of it, then it’s a problem. It’s like in life. We’ve got bad doctors and lawyers. We’ve got bad priests! We don’t target every priest and say he’s bad. You have to go to church and you have to go see some doctors. Some people have to be good Picture Quote #1

If I believe in anything, it is in the dark night of the soul. Awe is my religion, and mystery is its church Picture Quote #1

I believe in those whom I love and trust. All else is foolishness. This God is as empty as his church. His followers choose to attribute all of their good fortune to him, but when he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he is beyond their understanding and abandon themselves to his will. What kind of God is that? Picture Quote #1

The church is like a swimming pool. Most of the noise comes from the shallow end Picture Quote #1

One cannot walk down an avenue, converse with a friend, enter a building, browse beneath the sandstone arches of an old arcade without meeting an instrument of time. Time is visible in all places. Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession. And beyond any particular clock, a vast scaffold of time, stretching across the universe, lays down the law of time equally for all Picture Quote #1

We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn’t been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake Picture Quote #1

I am the product of the sustained indignation of a branded grandfather, the militant protest of my grandmother, the disciplined resentment of my father and mother, and the power of the mass action of the church Picture Quote #1

There is a movement bubbling up that goes beyond cynicism and celebrates a new way of living, a generation that stops complaining about the church it sees and becomes the church it dreams of Picture Quote #1

Around me the moonlight glittered on the pebbles of the llano, and in the night sky a million stars sparkled. Across the river I could see the twinkling lights of the town. In a week I would be returning to school, and as always I would be running up the goat path and crossing the bridge to go to church. Sometime in the future I would have to build my own dream out of those things that were so much a part of my childhood Picture Quote #1

When serious people of good faith disagree, they’ve got to go back into the narratives and come at it again. One of the problems in the church is that people are not willing to do that. People have arrived at a place where they think they have got the answer Picture Quote #1

The strength of the church is not the strength of its institutions but the authenticity of its witness Picture Quote #1

I’m really only responsible to make sure that one person is clapping at the end of my life. Because I feel like as a performer, a lot of times you live for everyone else’s applause. That’s a dangerous thing within the church or outside the church Picture Quote #1

The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world Picture Quote #1

Church is not an organization you join; it is a family where you belong, a home where you are loved and a hospital where you find healing Picture Quote #1

Why does no one speak of the cultural advantages of the country? For example, is a well groomed, ecologically kept, sustainably fertile farm any less cultural, any less artful, than paintings of fat angels on church ceilings? Picture Quote #1

It appears likely that there was no normative pattern of church government in the apostolic age, and that the organizational structure of the church is no essential element in the theology of the church Picture Quote #1

The church meets to imagine what our lives can be like if the gospel were true Picture Quote #1

Too much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion. I am thinking not only of the ministry of reproof and rebuke but also of the message of inspiration, of encouragement, of comfort. People go out of church at noon with the depths unstirred, the heart untouched, the conscience unpricked Picture Quote #1

I’m not a pastor; I’ve never been on staff at a church Picture Quote #1

Ours is a very eclectic offering. We’re affiliated with the church but we’re not just offering church music. Our philosophy is that we wanted to bring quality music to the entire valley and let everyone enjoy it since we have a fine venue Picture Quote #1

When a church is faithless to its duties, the real church is outside its walls, in the community Picture Quote #1

One of the most popular current errors, and the one out of which springs most of the noisy, blustering religious activity in evangelical circles, is the notion that as times change the church must change with them Picture Quote #1

Let us not forget: we are a pilgrim church, subject to misunderstanding, to persecution, but a church that walks serene, because it bears the force of love Picture Quote #1

I used love like money, but love doesn’t work like money. It is not a commodity. When we barter with it, we all lose. When the church does not love it’s enemies, it fuels their rage. It makes them hate us more Picture Quote #1

Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world Picture Quote #1

I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal Picture Quote #1

If the church marries herself to the spirit of the times, she will find herself a widow in the next generation Picture Quote #1

We believe in separation of church and state, that there should be no unwarranted influence on the church or religion by the state, and vice versa Picture Quote #1

Maybe that is why there are not a whole lot of problems between the church and worldly culture today, because we are not confronting the culture around us Picture Quote #1
