CHURCH - Blemishes 教會

A church without the truth is not a true church, and a church without the Spirit is not a true church.

教會缺如真理不是真正的教會，沒有聖靈的教會亦不復稱為真教會。

A cold church, like cold butter, never spreads well.

冷淡的教會如同凍得化不開的奶油，永遠無法均勻塗在麵包上。

I looked for the church and I found it in the world; I looked for the world and I found it in the church.

Horatius Bonuar

我尋找教會，在世界裡頭找到她；我尋找世界，卻在教會裡面尋到它。

The church has halted somewhere between Calvary and Pentecost.

J. I. Brice

教會不知怎麼搞的，就卡在加略山與五旬節聖靈降臨之間的不曉得哪一點。

Nothing will so avail to divide the church as love of power.

Chrysostom

沒有甚麼比嗜愛權利更能使教會分裂。

Too many church services begin at eleven o'clock sharp and end at twelve o'clock dull.

Vance Havner

太多的教會十一點開始崇拜時精神奕奕，但十二點結束時卻變得單調乏味。

Never before have we had so many degrees in the church and yet so little temperature.

Vance Havner

教會從未像此時擁有這麼多溫度（degree是學位的雙關語），可是教會的氣溫卻依然沒有提高多少。

I know that the church has its stupidities and inanities and irrelevancies; but I love my mother in spite of her weakness and wrinkles.

E. Stanley Jones

我知道教會難免行事愚拙、了無生氣、不食人間煙火，但是我愛我的母親，無視於她的軟弱及滿面皺紋。

One of the main causes of present troubles in the church is the neglect of discipline.

Klaas Runia

教會陷入目前困境的一項主要原因就是忽略信徒的管教。
