Quotes about Sunday

Church is not a building. Church is not an event that takes place on Sundays. I know, it's how we've come to think of it. "I go to First Baptist." "We are members of St. Luke's."

But when Scripture talks about church, it means community.

It is the Lord's Day, and I do believe that cheerful hearts and faces are not unpleasant in His sight.
