When you take refuge in a Church, do not seek shelter merely in the place but in the spirit of the place. For the Church is not wall and roof but faith and life.
John Chrysostom
1387 Church unity is internal; church union, external. The former is the result of spiritual and organic growth; the latter is to a great extent the product of the organizing activity of men.
Louis Berkhof (American Calvinist Theologian)
It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.
Matthew Henry (Nonconformist Biblical Exegete)
Prayer meetings are the throbbing machinery of the Church.
