Church Quotations

Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.

George Carlin

Joel Osteen

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

Joel Osteen

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
