Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.
The quality of the Lord's church on earth, cannot be seen by any man, so long as he lives in the world, still less how the church in process of time has turned aside from good to evil.
The Church is or should go back to being a community of God's people, and priests, pastors and bishops, who have the care of souls, are at the service of the people of God.
Indeed, in the present climate of mistrust of institutions, many people who yearn for a more meaningful and fulfilling life would regard the church as an unlikely place to go for guidance.
I do know this... I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.
I think in church you're raised like God is God and you are here.
I look at tens of thousands of church leaders who still do need a bit of an awakening.
There is a lot wrong with the church.
If indeed this is the work of God... then it's a crisis that calls for the church to be its very best self, and not worry about risking itself for the right thing.
Through the ages, God has used the church to keep alive and pass down the story of what Christ has done for us.
