“Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least.

When we have paid, the place is taken; when they had prayed, the place was shaken!” TryingCausesChurchTakenModernPrayingAnxietyPaidDenyTestamentEmphasisNew TestamentSetups Author:Leonard Ravenhill
“If we all gave all our goods to the poor, the church would fall apart. If we all hated our father and mother, as Jesus told us to, there'd be an end of the church's emphasis on the family as being the one important thing holding the whole society together. There are all sorts of ways in which the church's teachings contradict directly what Jesus says in the Gospel.” IfsWayImportantEndsWholeTogetherMotherFallFatherJesusChurchPoorTeachingImportant ThingsHatedGoodsEmphasisFalling ApartOur Father Author:Philip Pullman
