Know the word of God not in order that by doing so you might be saved; know it rather so that unlike the many you are not easily deceived. You may find that, evidently, a great many of the so-called novel ideas of the present were made without a clue that 'God', if you will, already laid profound discourse on or against them ages ago: no man has gone against God in such a way that God, from the beginning, did not already expect him to. Then, insofar as this, you will remain clear in that it is not at all that the Christian should be against newness; quite the opposite really - for a major point of Christianity is about one constantly being made new in Christ - it is only that many people are not actually bringing true newness to the table, and this is precisely because they do not first apply (or let alone even know) the wisdom of old.

Believers must step out of the four walls of the church and take the gospel of the kingdom into every sphere of life.

The rather difficult antagonists towards the Church consist not nearly of the cruel and heartless, nihilistic intellectuals who hate God and humanity, but the well-meaning spirits who for the most part lack an understanding of the Spirit.

The reason there's no oneness and no harmony in the church is because the believers don't habitually walk in the light and they don't constantly allow God's light (knowledge) to shine in them.

Holiness in the purest form is independent of all textual doctrines, all churches and all institutions.

God's church need to declare war against ignorance.

The church needs to arise not just against total and absolute ignorance, the church also needs to arise against half-truth or falsehood, which is some of the things that are prevailing in our churches today.

The church is God's elect that God wants to raise in the country to give hope to everyone

People will rather pass by the weak, the lame, the beggars, the orphans, the tormented, the widows and take their large offerings to church, to the man of God who already has a mansion and jets , what a shallow mindedness.

If I should go out of church whenever I hear a false sentiment, I could never stay there five minutes.

We don't achieve a church for God; rather we receive a church from God.

... upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.

This was posted on a Bronx, New York, church bulletin board: Do come in-Trespassers will be forgiven.

Avoid kneeling in unheated stone churches. Ecclesiastical dampness causes prematurely grey hair.

An Ohio church committee slips a dollar bill into one hymn book every Sunday to stimulate attendance.

Having church can be a substitute for being the church.

God builds his temple in the heart on the ruins of churches and religions.

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.

Why do people in churches seem like cheerful, brainless tourists on a packaged tour of the Absolute?

A temple is a landscape of the soul.
