“Church is not for pretenders and performers. Church is a place for pastors to preach principals of faith in order to prepare believers to face the storms of life on the stage of an unbelieving world. We are after all, the light of the world - - Christ shining through us.
Church is not the place to promote programs but to profess faith.
The church is not to be pliable but principled.... See More
The church is not to be preoccupied but prevailing.
The church is not perfect but predestined.
The church is not philosophical but predetermined.
The church does not pressure or pollute but pronounces and protects.
The church does not prey on the lost; it prays for the perishing.
The church does not pollute the mind; it provides food for the soul.
The church does not profane the truth; it possesses God’s Word.
The church is not passive or progressive; it is purging and possessive.
The church should not reflect pop culture but portray godly attributes.
The church should not seek pleasures but seek after God.
The church should not be prideful but princely – we are children of the King.
The church should not promote anything – but preach Christ only.
The church platform is not a playground but the place of proclamation.
The church is not to reflect the world but to be a portrait of Jesus Christ.
The church is not a public institution – Christ purchased it with His purifying blood.
The church should not work for its own profit; it is Christ’s priceless possession.
The church’s lectern is not a politician’s prop but a preacher’s pulpit.
The church is a place to pray for those who do not know Christ and to praise the Savior for making a way for salvation if they will only believe.
