Church Observations

  • Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to get into their pews or their favorite church parking spot.
  • Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers.
  • It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
  • We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers.
  • When you get to your wit’s end, you’ll find God lives there.
  • People are funny. They want the front of the bus, middle of the road, and the back of the church.
  • Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your door for years.
  • Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn’t belong.
  • The phrase that is guaranteed to wake up an audience: “And in conclusion.”
  • If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.
  • Not only are the sins of the fathers visited upon the children, but nowadays the sins of the children are visited upon the fathers.
  • God Himself does not propose to judge a man till he’s dead. So why should you?
  • To make a long story short, don’t tell it.
  • If your left hand doesn’t know what your right one is doing, you should consider running for a job in Washington.
  • Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
  • I don’t know why some people change churches. What difference does it make which one you stay home from?
  • A lot of church members are singing “Standing on the Promises” while they are just sitting on the premises.
