“Hypocrisy versus authenticity among men is not always so black and white, and as is righteousness, humility is often self-proclaimed. The Church is most definitely supposed to be a hospital for the spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically sick, hurting, and broken individual, yet ironically, many of its critics are those who ran away and permanently denounced its members after they visited and felt that they were sneezed on.” MenSelfIndividualFeltBlackHurtChurchWhiteHumilityBrokenMembersSickCriticsAuthenticitySupposed To BeRanHypocrisyRighteousnessHospitalsBlack And WhiteVersus Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“Here's why I don't have time to 'play church': at the end of the day, when I was supposed to be discarded, and the tools came in to kill me, to crush my head or whatever you're supposed to do, the Lord took His hand, pushed in there, and pushed me back out of the way. And they thought they got me. But at the end of the day God had a plan for a broken situation.” WayEndsPlayHandsChurchSituationLordPlansBrokenToolsSupposed To BeCrushThe End Of The DayKill MeDiscarded Author:Fred Hammond
“Christendom never came from an unbroken grave. It would have been buried in that grave, as Judas thought it was going to be, and as the Jews thought it was going to be, except there had been a resurrection from the dead. Then you can explain Christendom, churches, and literatures, if Christ rose again; but otherwise they cannot be explained at all. Our whole civilization rests on the broken Cross of the Master, and it is incredible that a civilization like this, in a world advancing steadily for eighteen centuries, has been founded on a lie.” IfsWorldHas BeensWholeLyingLiteratureChristChurchCenturyMastersBrokenCivilizationCrossesRoseIncrediblesJewGravesBuriedResurrectionEasterEighteenAdvancingUnbrokenJudasChristendom Author:Richard Salter Storrs

“It's important to preach like there's a broken heart on every pew. That's always been a phrase that stuck with me.
