Well you say that it's gospel, But I know that it's only church.
The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
Dr. Boice's commentary series is a treasure for the church and for her pastors. No expository preacher can afford to be without it.
Those who closely watched the campaign should not be surprised by Obama's hostility toward Israel, given his relations with pro-Palestinian, virulent critics of Israel and his voluntary membership in Reverend Wright's decidedly anti-Semitic church. Furthermore, his campaign website featured anti-Semitic posts.
Oh the Christian church has encouraged enormous immaturity among the peoples who are its primary adherence.
The church was made for mission-God's mission
Definitely I'm convinced that behind my case there is a trial of the church.
I used to tell people when I preached at a church, 'If you want a great sermon, be a great audience. '
Today, on our own turf, we face pagan ignorance about God every bit as deep as that which the early church faced in the Roman Empire.
Once the Roman Catholic Church in the West became the church most closely connected with the state, the Roman Catholic Church did not recognize the validity of any religion other than its own.
Art always used to involve spirit. Painters painted spirit. They painted by commission things to go into churches, and that was painting spirit. Or they would paint people of wealth, and they would try to show how they had power, and again, this is sort of spirit.
A horrible human toll the Russian Orthodox Church suffered throughout almost the entire 20th century. The Church is just rising from its knees. Our young post-Soviet state is just learning to respect the Church as an independent institution.
Any sin you cover, God uncovers. Any sin you uncover, God covers.

I was raised in the Baptist church. . . but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.
Every time I'm in the woods, i feel like I'm in church
It's a frightening thing. To go to France, the elder daughter of the church, it's always called, and you get the feeling the church has gone away.
Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was. It not only divides States and churches, it divides families; ay, it divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine.
The true church is not made of creeds and forms, nor is it contained in walls of wood and stone; the heart of man is its temple and the Spirit of truth is the one guide into all Truth. When men learn to turn within to the Spirit of truth, who is in each one for his light and inspiration, the differences between the churches of man will be eliminated, and the one church will be recognized.
It takes the whole church to know the whole truth.
