David Wells









Quotations About the Church



"He who does not have the church as his mother, does not have God as his father."

Christian Quote by - Augustine of Hippo


"The crisis of the church is not at its deepest level a crisis of authority, or a crisis of dogmatic theology. It is a crisis of powerlessness in which our sole recourse is to call on the help and inward power of the Holy Spirit."

Christian Quote by - James K. Baxter


"The church is a perpetually defeated thing that always survives her conquerors."

Christian Quote by - Hilaire Belloc


"When a church is truly convinced that prayer is where the action is, that church will so construct its corporate activities that the prayer program will have the highest priority."

Christian Quote by - Paul E. Billheimer


"Why is there so much running to and fro to meetings, conventions, fellowship gatherings and yet so little time for prayer?"

Christian Quote by - Andrew Bonar


"The church is her true self only when she exists for humanity."

Christian Quote by - Dietrich Bonhoeffer


"What the church needs today is not more, or better machinery, not new organizations, or more novel methods; but men whom the Holy Spirit can use; men of prayer, men mighty in prayer."

Christian Quote by - Edward M. Bounds


"If ever a man could have felt the church to be unnecessary, he was Jesus. Yet he did not stay away from the 'church' of his day. It was His custom to go to the synagogue on the Sabbath, and he made many trips to the temple."

Christian Quote by - R. Brokhoff


"God made so many different kinds of people. Why would he allow only one way to serve Him?"

Christian Quote by - Martin Buber


"For a man to argue, 'I don't go to church; I pray alone,' is no wiser than if he should say, 'I have no use for symphonies; I believe only in solo music.'"

Christian Quote by - George A. Buttrick


"The church is the gathering of God's children, where they can be helped and fed like babies and then guided by her motherly care, grow up to manhood in maturity of faith."

Christian Quote by - John Calvin


"In the book of Revelation, Christ desires a militant church that will absorb suffering rather than accommodate the powers that be."

Christian Quote by - Ellen T. Charry


"You cannot pray at home, like you can at church, where there is a great multitude; where exclamations are cried out to God as from one great heart, and where there is something more: the unions of minds, the accord of souls, the bond of charity, the prayers of priests."

Christian Quote by - John Chrysostom


"Just as God's will is creation and is called 'the world' so His intention is the salvation of men, and it is called 'the Church.'"

Christian Quote by - Clement of Alexandria


"Christians in community must again show the world, not merely family values, but the bond of the love of Christ."

Christian Quote by - Edmund Clowney


"The church is the only institution supernaturally endowed by God. It is the one institution of which Jesus promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against it."

Chuck Colson


"Worship is half the purpose of the church: the other half is mission in its broadest sense."

Michael Green


"According to the New Testament, God wills that the church be a people who show what God is like."

Stanley Grenz


"When the world asks, 'What is God like?' we should be able to say, 'Look at the church.' As the body of Christ, we are to be like Jesus; so that we too, reveal God to the rest of the world."

William R.L. Haley


"What a wonderful thing it is to be sure of one's faith! How wonderful to be a member of the evangelical church, which preaches the free grace of God through Christ as the hope of sinners! If we were to rely solely on our works? My God! What would become of us?"

Christian Quotation by - George F. Handel


"It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast about themselves most; when it comes to them, being near to the Church."

Christian Quotation by - Matthew Henry


"A church has no right to make anything a condition of membership, which Christ has not made a condition of salvation."

Christian Quotation by - Archibald A. Hodge


"The church is in Christ, as Eve was in Adam."

Christian Quotation by - Richard Hooker


"For where the church is, there is the Spirit of God, and where the Spirit of God, there is the church and all grace."

Christian Quotation by - Saint Irenaeus


"The church must be reminded that it is not the master, or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state."

Christian Quotation by - Martin Luther King Jr.


"The church is: a conspiracy of love for a dying world, a spy mission into enemy occupied territory ruled by the powers of evil; a prophet from God with the greatest news the world has ever heard, the most life changing and most revolutionary institution that has existed on earth."

Christian Quotation by - Peter Kreeft


"Do not ride in cars: they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. Do not stay at home: 17% of all accidents occur in the home. Do not walk on the streets or pavements: 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians. Do not travel by air, rail, or water: 16% of accidents happen on these. Only .001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Hence the safest place for you to be at any time is at church!"

Christian Quotation by - Mark Leslie


"I believe that there are too many practitioners in the church, who are not believers."

Christian Quotation by - Clive S. Lewis

Christian Quotation by - Martin Luther

Christian Quotation by - Lesslie Newbigin

Christian Quotation by - Joel Osteen

Christian Quotation by - Dorothy Sayers


"The church is the great lost and found department."

Christian Quotation by - Robert Short

Christian Quotation by - Cornelius Stam

Christian Quotation by - William Temple


"The church that is not jealousy protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors, will before long, become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church; that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray."

Christian Quotation by - Aiden W. Tozer


"We are called to see that the Church does not adapt its thinking to the horizons that modernity prescribes for it, but rather that it brings to those horizons, the powerful antidote of God's truth."

Christian Quotation by - Mike Yaconelli
