The average man is not going to be impressed by our publicity, our posters or our programs, but let there be a demonstration of the supernatural in the realm of religion, and at once man is arrested.

Does your church worship or entertain? – AW Tozer
A church that cannot worship must be entertained, and men who cannot lead a church to worship must provide entertainment.

The average Christian doesn’t have to do it – Cal Thomas
It is now possible to live a “Christian life” without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do. We have hired people to go into all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian doesn’t have to do it.

Afraid of Holiness – Leonard Ravenhill
You know, we live in a day when we are more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness.

A Minister Who Does Not Pray – Thomas Coke
A minister, who prays not, who is not in love with prayer, is not a minister of the Church of God. He is a dry tree, which occupies in vain a place in Christ’s garden. He is an enemy, and not a father, of the people. He is a stranger, who has taken the place of the shepherd, and to whom the salvation of the flock is an indifferent thing.

Church or Chapel – Martin Luther
Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.

The Church and the World Can’t Jog Together – Catherine Booth
When the church and the world can jog comfortably along together, you can be sure something is wrong. The world has not compromised—its spirit is exactly the same as it ever was. If Christians were equally as faithful to the Lord, separated from the world, and living so that their lives were a reproof to all ungodliness, the world would hate them as much as it ever did. It is the church that has compromised, not the world.

Are You Preaching the REAL Gospel? – Ray Comfort
Instead of preaching the good news that sinners can be made righteous in Christ and escape the wrath to come, the gospel has degenerated into the pretext that we can be happy in Christ and escape the hassles of life.
