Church Quotes

I think by eighth grade I knew I wanted to be an actor. I’d done church plays and stuff, but my first actual acting class was in eighth grade. I was obsessed with it Picture Quote #1

What millennials really want from the church is not a change in style but a change in substance Picture Quote #1

A dynamic praying church must be built from the inside out, employing all four levels of prayer: the secret closet, the family altar, small group praying and finally, the congregational setting Picture Quote #1

Walk through this with me. Through this church birthed of blood and muscle where every move our arms take, every breath we swallow is worship. Bend with me. There are bones in our throats. If we choke it is only on songs Picture Quote #1

A church is something very beautiful. It is nice when people feel happy in it. But I am not a religious man. Look at us, and then at the infinity of space. We are rather small insignificant creatures, wouldn’t you say? Picture Quote #1

To be spiritual is not by praying and going to church. Spiritualism is the understanding of the universe so that it can be a better place to live in Picture Quote #1

Two persons who love each other are in a place more holy than the interior of a church Picture Quote #1

I’ve been singing all my life. I’ve always wanted this. I sang in church, in school plays, and my parents gave me vocal lessons. My parents always said this was destined for me Picture Quote #1

If our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy Picture Quote #1

Rousseau and his disciples were resolved to force men to be free; in most of the world, they triumphed; men are set free from family, church, town, class, guild; yet they wear, instead, the chains of the state, and they expire of ennui or stifling lone lines Picture Quote #1

I call that church free which enters into the covenant with the ultimate source of existence. It binds together families and generations, protecting against the idolatry of any human claim to absolute truth or authority Picture Quote #1

The church is constituted as a new people who have been gathered from the nations to remind the world that we are in fact one people. Gathering, therefore, is an eschatological act as it is the foretaste of the unity of the communion of the saints Picture Quote #1

If a pagan asks you to show him your faith, take him into church and place him before the icons Picture Quote #1

Start locally and build. Start small and grow. Start in your house, then move to your school, your book club, your gym, your church, your temple, your city Picture Quote #1

One of the great misconceptions about spiritual growth that develops in a lot of churches is that information alone is adequate to produce transformed human beings. So if we want to have a church of spiritually mature people, let’s just keep cramming more and more information into them... Information alone is not adequate for the transformation of the human personality Picture Quote #1

I am the product of the sustained indignation of a branded grandfather, the militant protest of my grandmother, the disciplined resentment of my father and mother, and the power of the mass action of the church Picture Quote #1

Many people take exception to me and say that I’m doing black magic and things they can’t do at church. But I’m doing magic that started their church Picture Quote #1

In a church, I am a saint. In a public place, I am a lady. In my own home, I am a devil... My house is where I can do as I please, scream and yell and dance and fall on the floor if I like. I am myself when I am in my home Picture Quote #1

There is a movement bubbling up that goes beyond cynicism and celebrates a new way of living, a generation that stops complaining about the church it sees and becomes the church it dreams of Picture Quote #1

Around me the moonlight glittered on the pebbles of the llano, and in the night sky a million stars sparkled. Across the river I could see the twinkling lights of the town. In a week I would be returning to school, and as always I would be running up the goat path and crossing the bridge to go to church. Sometime in the future I would have to build my own dream out of those things that were so much a part of my childhood Picture Quote #1

The single most prevalent form of child abuse in this country is the act of sending a child to a government school. We worry incessantly about the separation of church and state. We would do well to devote half as much attention to the separation of government and education Picture Quote #1

Stop looking for the perfect church. It does not exist. Even if it did exist, the moment we joined it, it would no longer be perfect! Picture Quote #1

The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state Picture Quote #1

When serious people of good faith disagree, they’ve got to go back into the narratives and come at it again. One of the problems in the church is that people are not willing to do that. People have arrived at a place where they think they have got the answer Picture Quote #1

Look, the world is everywhere: satellites, end tables, the pink and white poinsettias outside the church; reunions and degrees. All those radiant asterisks... Soon it will all make sense Picture Quote #1

We can find loopholes in a lot of things if we want to bend the rules of the church Picture Quote #1

Now you, as a young person, may have no faith in your country, or in your church, or in your family. But you can still have faith in an ideal. If you have an ideal in front of you, you will never get lost on the journey of life. It is, after all, the journey that matters Picture Quote #1

In all systems of theology the devil figures as a male person. Yes, it is women who keep the church going Picture Quote #1

No local church can afford to go without the encouragement and nourishment that will come to it by sending away its best people Picture Quote #1

Evangelization is a process of bringing the gospel to people where they are, not where you would like them to be. When the gospel reaches a people where they are, their response to the gospel is the church in a new place Picture Quote #1
