Church Quotes

Lovingly received day after day by the Church, it is to be preached with dauntless fidelity as good news to the people of every age and culture" "Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest" "God has a plan for His church upon earth but alas we too often make our plan and then ask Him to bless it" "The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven, and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel." "We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity." "It’s easy to become disillusioned with church and religion. People get hurt and disappointed preachers sin and overlook hurting people and sound theology sometimes cowers to fears and selfish ambition. But at the core if you love Jesus you will love people." "It's not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the Gospel. It is a proud sensuous selfish luxurious church-going hollow-hearted prosperity."
