Churches

An instinctive taste teaches men to build their churches with spire steeples which point as with a silent finger to the sky and stars.
- Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Havner, Vance

2.
We praise Him, we bless Him, we adore Him, we glorify Him, and we wonder who is that baritone across the aisle and that pretty woman on our right who smells of apple blossoms. Our bowels stir and our cod itches and we amend our prayers for the spiritual life with the hope that it will not be too spiritual.
Cheever, John

3.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

4.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

5.
How can a bishop marry? How can he flirt? The most he can say is I will see you in the vestry after service.
Smith, Sydney

6.
But a priest's life is not supposed to be well-rounded; it is supposed to be one-pointed -- a compass, not a weathercock.
Huxley, Aldous

7.
I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.
Swift, Jonathan

8.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

9.
I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.
Thomson, James

10.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

11.
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Fielding, Henry

12.
If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they'd realize that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.
O'Casey, Sean

13.
In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
Weil, Simone

14.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

15.
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
Gaulle, Charles De

16.
The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.
John Paul II

17.
The Church cannot be content to live in its stained-glass house and throw stones through the picture window of modern culture.
Brown, Robert Mcafee

18.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

19.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Beecher, Henry Ward

20.
The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.
Moody, Dwight L.

21.
The root of almost every schism and heresy from which the Christian Church has suffered, has been because of the effort of men to earn, rather than receive their salvation; and the reason preaching is so commonly ineffective is, that it often calls on people to work for God rather than letting God work through them.
Ruskin, John

22.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

23.
The church exists to train its member through the practice of the presence of God to be servants of others, to the end that Christlikeness may become common property.
Brown, William Adams

24.
I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.
Wilder, Billy

25.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

26.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

27.
Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.
Luther, Martin

28.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas

29.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

30.
The priesthood in many ways is the ultimate closet in Western civilization, where gay people particularly have hidden for the past two thousand years.
Spong, John

31.
She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.
Walker, Alice

32.
Those who marry God can become domesticated too -- it's just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word Love means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and Ave Marialike dearest is a phrase to open a letter. This marriage like the world's marriages was held together by habits and tastes shared in common between God and themselves -- it was God's taste to be worshipped and their taste to worship, but only at stated hours like a suburban embrace on a Saturday night.
Greene, Graham

33.
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry

34.
I'm a priest, not a priestess. Priestess implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world -- it's better than being invisible.
Heyward, Carter

35.
A woman's asking for equality in the church would be comparable to a black person's demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan.
Daly, Mary

36.
And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Defoe, Daniel

37.
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
King Jr. Martin Luther

38.
My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

39.
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave--with both ends kicked out.
Havner, Vance

40.
Mass ought to be in Latin, unless you could do it in Greek or Chinese. In fact, any abracadabra that no bloody member of the public or half-educated ape of a clargimint could think he understood.
Pound, Ezra

41.
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
Penn, William

42.
The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.
Wesley, John

43.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

44.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
Ruskin, John

45.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

46.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

47.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

48.
What makes a church great in the eyes of God? Participation, proclamation, preservation, and propagation. Every church ought to exhibit all four.
Hawkins, O. S.

49.
It is indolence... Indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.
Austen, Jane

50.
A full-dressed ecclesiastic is a sort of go-cart of divinity; an ethical automaton. A clerical prig is, in general, a very dangerous as well as contemptible character. The utmost that those who thus habitually confound their opinions and sentiments with the outside coverings of their bodies can aspire to, is a negative and neutral character, like wax-work figures, where the dress is done as much to the life as the man, and where both are respectable pieces of pasteboard, or harmless compositions of fleecy hosiery.
Hazlitt, William
