The churches have no confidence in each other. Why? Because they are acquainted with each other.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
We must protect the right of citizens to practice their religions freely. As president, I will support federal and state-level legislation like the Religious Freedom Restoration Acts that protect citizens and their churches from government intrusion.
Carly Fiorina
Image
Don`t imitate: imitation creates falsity, pseudo-ness, inauthenticity. Just feel your own way and don`t bother about what others say. It is nobody else`s business. Don`t bother about what churches say, organizations say - listen to your own heart.
Rajneesh
Image
The best-run churches and organizations are masters of the midcourse correction. They plan in pencil.
Larry Osborne
Image
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. Packer
Image
We have to reach out to churches and schools and help people understand science, and we have to build rapport between scientists and people of faith. Then once we get that understanding and rapport built, then everyone will be on board with climate change.
Katharine Hayhoe
Image
The enemy is not individuals, churches, 'ex-gay' organisations or political parties the enemy is ignorance. Change is created by focusing our energies on overcoming the latter instead of attacking the former.
Anthony Venn-Brown
Image
When there's something in the Bible that churches don't like, they call it 'legalism.'
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I really started to get into reading the Bible and I started to look for a church to go to. Every Sunday I was going to like three or four churches, I was just looking for the right church.
Angus T. Jones
Image
Every European goes on the streets and sees medieval churches. Not if you live in Indianapolis. The most exciting letters I received were from people in places like that.
Umberto Eco
Image
Doubts about the fundamentals of the gospel exist in certain churches, I am told, to a large extent. My dear friends, where there is a warm-hearted church, you do not hear of them. I never saw a fly light on a red-hot plate.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It's a matter of each of the two churches being very deeply enculturated in its own setting and having difficulty understand the other.
Justo L. Gonzalez
Image
As a preacher I just feel like I have to be honest I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't. I think that's why I've been able to reach some people who don't feel comfortable in churches. I do make mistakes and I can be goofy and quirky sometimes. I'm not the world's greatest speaker. I don't try to hide that.
Jay Bakker
Image
The religious superstition is encouraged by means of the institution of churches, processions, monuments, festivities....The so-called clergy stupefy the masses....They befog the people and keep them in an eternal condition of stupefaction.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Great churches aren't built on the gifts or talents of a few, but on the sacrifice of many.
Brian Houston
Image
A close look at many churches will reveal that a central problem is the lack of biblical maturity among the men.
Albert Mohler
Image
The kind of sermon which is preached in most colored churches is not today attractive to even fairly intelligent men.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Image
The people responsible for the dollars that will buy the sex and violence so many deplore, don't even know what's going - well, of course they know. But they're comfortably ensconced in their country clubs and churches, and very far removed from the decisions that are made on their behalf.
Norman Lear
Image
But how odd that in this heathen nation of empty pews, where churches' bare, ruined choirs are converted into luxury loft living, a Labour government - yes, a Labour government - is deliberately creating a huge expansion of faith schools.
Polly Toynbee
Image
In general, the churches, visited by me often on weekdays... bore for me the same relation to God that billboards did to Coca-Cola they promoted thirst without quenching it.
John Updike
Image
My visual landscape as a child was the inside of a lot of these old churches. And the Baroque drama of the things was what I was first engaging with artwise. I'm much more attracted to the aesthetic of religious iconography than the actual religious side. The passion and the blood and the violence and the gaudy side of it I find really fascinating.
Florence Welch
Image
Many times when people leave churches we think it's a doctrinal issue, but most of the time it's a leadership issue.
John C. Maxwell
Image
God calls us to worship, but in many instances we are in entertainment, just running a poor second to the theaters. That is where we are, even in the evangelical churches, and I don't mind telling you that most of the people we say we are trying to reach will never come to a church to see a lot of amateur actors putting on a home-talent show.

The Lord did not tell us to build beautiful churches, but to evangelize the world
