Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry

2.
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

3.
The itch of disputing is the scab of the churches.
Wotton, Sir Henry

4.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

5.
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Mencken, H. L.

6.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

7.
The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
Havner, Vance

8.
My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

9.
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

10.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas

11.
A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be, but every one chooses out a dish or two that he likes, and lets the rest alone: how glorious soever the Church is, every one chooses out of it his own religion, by which he governs himself, and lets the rest alone.
Selden, John

12.
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

13.
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.

14.
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

15.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

16.
In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
Weil, Simone

17.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

18.
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie

19.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

20.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

21.
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

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

23.
Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.
Luther, Martin

24.
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Fielding, Henry

25.
The Christian church is a society of sinners. It is the only society in the world, membership in which is based upon the single qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of membership.
Morrison, Charles C.

26.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.
Fuller, Thomas

27.
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

28.
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?

29.
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

30.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Moody, Dwight L.

31.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

32.
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.

33.
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

34.
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

35.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

36.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

37.
A little, round, fat, oily man of God.
Thomson, James

38.
I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.
Thomson, James

39.
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.

40.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

41.
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

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

43.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

44.
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel

45.
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

46.
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

47.
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

48.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
Ruskin, John

49.
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

50.
What is wrong with priests and popes is that instead of being apostles and saints, they are nothing but empirics who say I know instead of I am learning, and pray for credulity and inertia as wise men pray for skepticism and activity.
Shaw, George Bernard
