Home Page » Categories » Church

As burned as I've been by local churches and by people who call themselves in God's name, Jesus gave us the church. It's supposed to be a community of like-minded people who encourage and strengthen each other. But that's not how it always works. — Anne Graham Lotz

We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick. — Pope Francis

As a leader it is your job to protect the missional integrity of the Jesus gathering to which you have been called. It is your responsibility to see to it that the church under your care continues as a gathering of people in process; a place where the curious, the unconvinced, the sceptical, the used-to-believe and the broken, as well as the committed, informed and sold-out come together around Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. — Andy Stanley Deep and Wide:...

Theology is not solely a private pursuit for theologians or professors. Throughout history, many pastors have possessed a deeper understanding of theology than average academics. Moreover, theology is not merely an academic study reserved for pastors; indeed, many members of congregations and entire communities have actively engaged with theological inquiry, sometimes even when their clergy were uneducated or less knowledgeable in the field. Ultimately, theology belongs to the Church as a whole, engaging its members at every level of faith and understanding. — Karl Barth

And a voice singing His praises at a ball is far less irreverent than a stone-cold heart sitting in a pew on Sunday morning. — Hayden Wand Hidden Pearls

Having your own church doesn't make you a good guy. It only makes you tax - exempt. — Lisa Kleypas Rainshadow Road

Whatever your problems may be, they pale in insignificance in the light of eternity. No matter how great your failures, God's grace is greater still. Lift up your heart and face life head-on. — Prince Akwarandu
