"What is the Church? It is Christ in living union with His own. That is the Church. You do not build a special building and call it "the Church." You do not have a special organization - a religious institution - which you call "the Church." Believers in living union with the risen Lord constitute Church. This is the reality, not the figure."
T. Austin Sparks

Evangelical theology is focused on salvation of the lost, on sin and forgiveness, justification, and holiness for the sinner. If we are brave enough to look at it closely, we notice that it is actually man who stands at the center of all things. Yes, man with all his needs. And the servant of man Christ!
Manfred R. Haller

If ye keep watch over your hearts, and listen for the Voice of God and learn of Him, in one short hour ye can learn more from Him than ye could learn from Man in a thousand years.

God has given us two ears, but one tongue, to show that we should be swift to hear, but slow to speak. God has set a double fence before the tongue, the teeth and the lips, to teach us to be wary that we offend not with our tongue.

-- Thomas Watson

"The gospel of grace is the end of religion, the final posting of the CLOSED sign on the sweatshop of the human race's perpetual struggle to think well of itself. For that, at bottom, is what religion is: man's well-meant but dim-witted attempt to approve of his unapprovable condition by doing odd jobs he thinks some important Something will thank him for.
"Religion, therefore, is a loser, a strictly fallen activity. It has a failed past and a bankrupt future. There was no religion in Eden and there won't be any in heaven; and in the meantime Jesus has died and risen to persuade us to knock it all off right now."
(Ibid., pg. 166.)

Some of these quotes are really uplifting, some are funny and some make you think.. Thanks for sharing. One that struck me recently was :

"Oh Eagle, don't be despondant due to the swift and rough breeze, For it only blows in this manner to make you fly faster and higher." Iqbal

Its from the preface of a book I just read called The Torn Veil, the testimony of a Muslim girl with a severe disability who was healed on becoming a Christian. Its true inspiring story. :messenger
