The true church can never fail. Because it is built on a rock.
T.S. Eliot
Wherever we see God’s Word being preached and heard purely, God’s church exists, even though there are many errors.
John Calvin, theologian, author and pastor
You cannot be devoted to the church but to Christ. But you cannot be devoted to the church without being devoted to Christ.

Faithful attendance at congregation meetings brings blessings that you cannot possibly receive in any other way.
Ezra T. Benson
It is only when the church stands up for mankind that it becomes a true existence.
Dietrich Bonhafer, theologian, pastor and author
The church is a gathering of God’s children where they can be helped and fed like a child and cared for like a mother. Then they grow to maturity of faith.
John Calvin, theologian, author and pastor
Just as God’s will is creation and is called the ‘world’, so His purpose is the salvation of mankind, which is called the ‘church.’
Clement (Alexandriaca), Congregation-father, Theologian
The church is the only organization that is supernaturally qualified by God. This is an organization that Jesus promised that the gates of hell would not overcome.
Charles Colson, lawyer
Where God’s church is, there is God’s Spirit, and where God’s Spirit is, there is church and all grace.
Irenaeus, Protector, Bishop with Congregation-Father
The Christian church is not an assembly of the righteous. This is a society of people who know that they are not good.
D. E. Stevenson
The church is the only society on earth that exists for the benefit of non-members.
William Temple
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
Tertullian, author as well as defense expert
The church must learn and teach humility.
George Bernard Sa, playwright, critic and socialist
The church does not exist for any purpose, but to draw people to Christ, to make them little Christians. If it does not, then the church building, the pastor, the mission, the discourse, and the Bible itself are a waste of time. God became man, not for any other purpose.
C. S. Lewis, philologist, novelist with critic
Kingdoms fall, thrones fall, but the church remains.
Napoleon Bonaparte, French emperor
