“I think the real church
meets on Thursday nights, (when the support groups meet) not on Sunday morning,
because the Gospel is a real Gospel
for real people with real sins. Those people who tip toe through life lightly
without ever hitting any pitfalls present only a shadow of the Gospel to the
world. And those who have sin areas but
pretend they don’t in order to keep up a good front are hiding the Gospel from
the world; because the Gospel is a real Gospel
for real people with real sins who can experience real forgiveness.” -anonymous

“I saw an article in the church paper about the expectations
the church has for its members. The article said the church expected such
things as regular attendance, tithing, etc. I just thought, ‘That’s pretty
funny because my expectation for church members is that they are going to sin, and
they are going to sin, and they are going to sin.’” -Susan Siami
“The cross is tiny physically but in the scope of the
vastness of the universe, it dominates everything. That is why the universe is so big –so that
it can be a stage for the cross.”
-Jack Miller World Harvest Missions, “Sonship” videos
“The foolishness of the cross means that ministry is
essentially and irreducibly scandalous and there is nothing you can do about
it. There is nothing you should try to do about it. We can’t manage scandal, we
must bear it.”
-Dr. Albert Mohler
“Many have pity on the people at the dump. However,
Christians are to have compassion. For
compassion compels us to act, not just feel sorry for someone.” -Paul Daniels (friend)
“There is no gifted program in heaven. There are no special Ed classes. When we get
to heaven we will all have perfect knowledge.”
-Dr. Albert Mohler
“Study the Gospels until it comes out of your ears; until it
runs through your veins.”
-Jack Miller, “Sonship” videos
