Before Christ sent the church into the world he sent the Spirit into the church. The same order must be observed today. ~John Stott
The Christian church is not a congregation of (self) righteous people. It is a society of those who know they are not good. ~Dwight E. Stevenson
If the first mark of a true and living church is love, the second is suffering. The one is naturally consequent on the other. A willingness to suffer proves the genuineness of love. ~John Stott
The holiest moment of the church service is the moment when God's people--strengthened by preaching and sacrament--go out of the church door into the world to be the church. We don't go to church, we are the church. ~Ernest Southcott
We are trying to play without the ball when the church tries to evangelize before she has repented. The church can do many things after she has repented but nothing until she first repents. ~Vance Havner
To reform the Church of God we should always begin with self-reform. Schisms and divisions will increase so long as we begin with reforming others. ~Robert C. Chapman
The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion. ~John Wesley
Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering its purpose. ~Rick Warren
In answer to your inquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without the Christ, forgiveness without the repentance, salvation without the regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell. ~William Booth
How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churhes and missionary societies have so bound Him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves. ~C.T. Studd
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man." ~D.L. Moody
One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always." ~A.W. Tozer
The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the Church...grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved at the prayerlesness in the Church. He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the Church no longer pulls down the strongholds of the devil. ~Leonard Ravenhill
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter. ~Martin Luther King Jr.
"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." ~1 Corinthians 14:33
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen
