Churches may decay and perish riches may make themselves wings and fly away-but he who builds their happiness on Christ crucified and union with Him by faith, that person is standing on a foundation which shall never be moved, and will know something of true peace.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Churches are good for prayer, but so are garages and cars and mountains and showers and dance floors.
Anne Lamott
Image
Churches typically argue is that God wants God's people to have a good life, and that a good life involves prosperity. This prosperity is not just emotional well-being, spiritual well-being, or physical well-being - it's also having good stuff. Having a nice house, a nice car, good clothing, etc. It's a package deal.

Churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.

Churches are healthier and stronger if they assume responsibility both for financing their own programs and for stimulating their members to accept that responsibility.
John M Swomley
Image
Churches become poor if they become rich and care not for the poor.
Lester Roloff
Image
Churches that make an impact are more focused on putting boots on the streets than butts in the seats
Miles McPherson
Image
churches, like all the rest of our major institutions, are rooted in capitalism. For a church to attack capitalism is to 'bite the hand that feeds it.
Georgia Harkness
Image
Churches that depart from the Word will soon find that God has departed from them.
Robert Godfrey
Image
Churches are not the kingdom of God, but are primary and inevitable expressions, outposts, and instrumentalities of presence of the kingdom among us. They are 'societies' of Jesus.
Dallas Willard
Image
Churches are like announcement factories that pump toxic levels of noise pollution into the atmosphere.
Scott McClellan
Image
Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community.
Annie Lennox
Image
Churches can become places of cynicism, resistance, and pessimism.
John Ortberg
Image
Churches often confuse loyalty with competence.
Phil Cooke
Image
Churches are not museums that display perfect people. They are hospitals where the wounded, hurt, injured and broken find healing.
Nicky Gumbel
Image
Churches whose members fight with one another have lost their vision for the lost.
John C. Maxwell
Image
Churches don't need new members half so much as they need the old bunch made over.
Billy Sunday
Image
Churches are having a limited impact on society because they fail to understand that the goal of the church is not the church itself but the kingdom.
Tony Evans
Image
Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.
Francis Chan
Image
I think it's hypocritical and inconsistent for us to attack this one group of people over any other group of people that are within our churches today. If we were talking about one of their sin issues we wouldn't have addressed this at all. I find that hypocritical and inconsistent.
Alan Chambers
Image
There must be a realm of truth beyond political competence, that's why there must be a separation of churches, but if religion is bad and a bad religion is one that gives an ultimate sanctity to some particular cause.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Image
Science is neither a single tradition, nor the best tradition there is, except for people who have become accustomed to its presence, its benefits and its disadvantages. In a democracy it should be separated from the state just as churches are now separated from the state.
Paul Feyerabend
Image
One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.
John Muir
Image
Soul winning is not a method it is a command. We are supposed to go soul winning and do soul winning if our churches grow or if our churches decrease in attendance.
