Churches are like announcement factories that pump toxic levels of noise pollution into the atmosphere.
Scott McClellan
Image
We know the Church wasn't born 200 years ago. It's encouraging to see some of the post-denominational churches actually wanting to reconnect with the story and the prayer life of the larger Church.
Shane Claiborne
Image
Most problems in contemporary churches can be explained by the fact that members have never decided to follow Christ.
Dallas Willard
Image
A lot of churches have not moved with the times.
Joel Osteen
Image
There are enough churches already, but the world still needs salvation.
Sun Myung Moon

It is fruitless to search for a single musical style, or even any blend of musical styles, that can assist all Christians with true worship. The followers of Jesus are a far too diverse group of people-which is exactly as it should be. We need, rather, to welcome any worship music that helps churches produce disciples of Jesus Christ.
Michael Adam Hamilton

Multiculturalism is only in the West. We are absorbing a large number of Muslims in the west and at the same time the Christians and the Jews and other minorities are fleeing the Middle East, churches are being burnt, nobody is talking about it. Where are the religious freedom of the minorities.

Ten years ago, 15 years ago, I think the church would have been asleep at the switch. This level of activism and engagement with the needs of society by local churches I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.

Every American has the right to feel safe in their schools, in their churches, in their movie theaters, and in their nightclubs.
Jackie Speier
Image
By comparison with a night-club, churches are positively gay.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most people think that God wants us to demonstrate our love for God by having churches and by having symbols - and I think that's a huge error.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Anytime you hear the concept of the separation of church and state being talked about these days, it is never in regard to maintaining the restraints on government instead, it is always talking about what Christians and churches cannot do.
D. James Kennedy
Image
Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches, no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and wonderfully diversified human race.
Jacques Barzun
Image
If outside forces and culture were the reasons behind declining and non-influential churches, we would likely have no churches today. The greatest periods of growth, particularly the first-century growth, took place in adversarial cultures. We are not hindered by external forces we are hindered by our own lack of commitment and selflessness.
Thom S. Rainer

There's no tradition of scientists knocking down the Sunday school door, telling the preacher, That might not necessarily be true. That's never happened. There're no scientists picketing outside of churches.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Image
Local churches are ten times more segregated than the neighborhoods they are in and they are twenty times more segregated than the schools than the nearby schools.
Derwin L. Gray
Image
Many seducers clutter the simple message of the gospel with legalistic additions, with convoluted attempts to legitimize moral compromise, and with psychological theories that turn churches into relational support groups instead of houses of worship.
Charles R. Swindoll
Image
By operating independently of government aid, the churches . . . avoid the resentment of those who do not want to be forced to contribute to churches to which they do not belong and of their own members who do not welcome being forced to contribute through government taxation.
John M Swomley
Image
Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires.
Kevin DeYoung

Black churches minister to social needs out of necessity.
Barack Obama
Image
Only 13.7% of churches in America are consider multiethnic. This means that 86.3 % of churches are homogenous.
Derwin L. Gray

The problem is poverty. And it hides the problem. We often associate black churches with a history of protest. But prosperity gospel and megachurches tend to be rather soft on political issues. T.D. Jakes doesn't take a major stand on political issues. Creflo Dollar certainly doesn't.
Anthony B Pinn

All the modern christian churches, who deny new revelation, have no more authority to preach, baptize, or administer any other ordinance of the gospel than the idolatrous Hindoos have indeed all their administrations are worse than in vain — they are a solemn mockery in the sight of God.
Orson Pratt

Babies aren't born knowing differences in color, gender, religions. They're taught those things. They're taught them at home. They're taught in the schools. They're taught in the churches. They're taught in the mosques, in the synagogues.
