Jonathan Swift
-
Leadership in the church is not entrusted to successful fund raisers, brilliant biblical scholars, administrative geniuses, or spellbinding preachers...but to those who have been laid waste by a consuming passion for Christ - passionate men and women for whom privilege and power are trivial compared to knowing and loving Jesus.

The law of attraction will certainly and unerringly
bring to you the conditions, environment and experiences in life,
corresponding with your habitual, characteristic, predominant mental attitude. Not what you think about once in a while
when you are in church, or have just read a good book,
BUT your predominant mental attitude is what counts.
Charles F. Haanel

It is within the sanctuary of the Church that we protect our faith. Meeting together with others who believe, we pray and find answers to our prayers; we worship through music, share testimony of the Savior, serve one another, and feel the Spirit of the Lord. We partake of the sacrament, receive the blessings of the priesthood, and attend the temple. . . When you are faced with a test of faith, stay within the safety and security of the household of God. There is always a place for you here. No trial is so large we can't overcome it together.
Neil L. Andersen

I think today the church faces a very real challenge in not repeating the errors of the past, in sort of a stand off, a fear of science.
George Coyne
-
When I speak at my local church, which I try to do 35 to 40 times a year, I try in every lesson to take the Old Testament text or New Testament text and apply them to what is happening to me or how that applies to the audience that I'm teaching in a modern, fast-changing, technological world. I use headlines, interfaith and that sort of thing.
Jimmy Carter

The excellence of the Church does not consist in multitude but in purity.
