Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

2.
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

3.
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

4.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

5.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

6.
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
Cowper, William

7.
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

8.
Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.
Graham, Billy

9.
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

10.
I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.
Wilder, Billy

11.
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

12.
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

13.
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

14.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

15.
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.

16.
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.

17.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

18.
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.

19.
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Mencken, H. L.

20.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Beecher, Henry Ward

21.
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel

22.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

23.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

24.
Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.

25.
A little, round, fat, oily man of God.
Thomson, James

26.
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

27.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

28.
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

29.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Moody, Dwight L.

30.
And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Defoe, Daniel

31.
A group touring Westminster Abbey in London heard the guide list the famous people buried within its walls. During a momentary silence a little old lady's voice blurted out loud and clear, Anybody been saved here lately?

32.
The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
Pound, Ezra

33.
Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.
Ratzinger, Cardinal Joseph

34.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

35.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

36.
Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.
Calvin, John

37.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
Ruskin, John

38.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

39.
It's about time we quit playing church in these services that start at eleven o clock sharp and end at twelve o clock dull.
Havner, Vance

40.
I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.
Thomson, James

41.
The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

42.
A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.
Mencken, H. L.

43.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.
Fuller, Thomas

44.
His creed no parson ever knew, for this was still his simple plan, to have with clergymen to do as little as a Christian can.
Doyle, Sir Francis

45.
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

46.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

47.
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Fielding, Henry

48.
The itch of disputing is the scab of the churches.
Wotton, Sir Henry

49.
One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.
Tozer, A. W.

50.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas
