I suppose the Church would be perfect only if it were run by perfect beings. God is perfect, and His doctrine is pure. But He works through us - His imperfect children - and imperfect people make mistakes.

People have really strong images of what church is, and it's almost certainly not the same as mine.

I think we are all trying to figure out what it means to be the Church as opposed to just doing church.

I like the aesthetics of the Church.

About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they're just one thing.

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.

I always was kind of on the edge of the church when I was fully in it, cos I was always asking the questions... And I could never believe blindly.

Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.

Jesus is coming back for a church without a spot or a wrinkle. His righteous blood covers the spots and the wrinkles of those who believe unto righteousness, allowing once sinful men to be holy.
