It’s amazing to me the number of people who will volunteer to help at church but won’t lift a finger to help at home!

I don’t want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.

Those outside the church expect followers of Christ to live differently, yet today many in church are chasing after the world – not to win them, but to be like them.

A calling is you feel – you look out and see the need – maybe it’s the need for the poor, to help poor people. Maybe it’s the need to get involved in the race problem, as Martin Luther King was – felt called.

I used to live with my grandmother. I used to wonder why the other kids in school went home with their mothers and fathers. I wanted to be the guy that got married. I wanted to be the guy with the children and the white picket fence. I never had that.

Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

You tell me: Can you live crushed under the weight of the present? Without a memory of the past and without the desire to look ahead to the future by building something, a future, a family? Can you go on like this? This, to me, is the most urgent problem that the Church is facing.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

I don’t mind saying, you know, that I don’t take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books. It’s been printed all over, so I don’t feel like I am hiding anything.

There are thousands of ways to take action. For example, plant trees, pick up litter, join an organisation or movement that makes a difference and especially try to influence adults and put pressure on people in power.

Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.

Sitting idle at home is the most painful experience for a footballer.

Family home evening is more for the purpose of teaching values and gospel principles, displaying talents and enjoying different kinds of family fun and activities.

We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our education system.

The best thing about my protest has been to see how more and more people have been coming and getting involved.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.

When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

I have much more support than most women around this world, and I have the financial means to have a home and help with care and food.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.

The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.

They need help, and we have helped, and we are here to help. And we are helping, and we’re going to continue to help.

If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.

I want get across to not just the church world. I want to get outside those walls to everyday people.

Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn’t try and be copying men and be masculine; they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.

We cannot have communion with Christ till we are in union with Him; and we cannot have communion with the Church till we are in vital union with it.

For more than a decade, I led an organization that put on an elaborate Christmas program each December. It was a big production, with over 250 people participating in more than 20 performances. By the end of the season, everyone who participated was exhausted.

More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.

I was reared in the church, in the Presbyterian Church.

What is the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?

I’ve lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.

My parents had us in church every Sunday, every Wednesday. It was more of a tradition at that point; I didn’t have a personal relationship with the Lord until I went to the altar call one Sunday, and the youth pastor told us to make a decision for ourselves.

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

I’m more at home with my log cabins than I am in my house in Cherry Hill.

Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.

I mean in the South African case, many of those who were part of death squads would have been respectable members of their white community, people who went to church on Sunday, every Sunday.

When anyone has the power to destroy the whole human race in a matter of hours, it becomes a moral issue. The church must speak out.

To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution.

Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.

There’s nothing more comfortable or leisurely than having a pair of Ugg slippers on in the house.

Each faithful young woman in the Church proclaims that individual worth is one of her most cherished values.

We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.

The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

My mom was on the United Way group that decides how to allocate the money and looks at all the different charities and makes the very hard decisions about where that pool of funds is going to go.

I saw what the Depression was doing to my students. Often they could get no jobs, or jobs which were wholly inadequate. And through them, I began to understand how deeply political and economic events could affect men’s lives. I began to feel the need to participate more fully in the life of the community.

U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.

I see clearly that the thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity.

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.

I believe that of all the things I have done, exciting though many of them have been, there’s no doubt in my mind that the most worthwhile have been the establishing of schools and hospitals, and the rebuilding of monasteries in the mountains.

I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.

We are not cisterns made for hoarding, we are channels made for sharing.

At home, we must reject the mistaken notion – a notion that has dominated too much of the public dialogue for too long – that ever bigger Government is the answer to every problem.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.
