The church is not a place where perfect people gather to say perfect things, or have perfect thoughts, or have perfect feelings.

The church is not a building to be consecrated; it is consecrated by the people who worship there.
The church is not a building; the church is not a steeple; the church is not a resting place; the church is a people.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
