False teachers invite people to come to the Master’s table because of what’s on it, not because they love the Master.

Hank Hanegraaff

Hendrik „Hank“ Hanegraaff (* 1950) ist ein US-amerikanischer Autor und Apologet, der seit 1989 das Christian Research Institute leitet und durch die Radiosendung „The Bible Answer Man“ bekannt wurde. Er profilierte sich durch die rationale Verteidigung christlicher Grundlehren und seine Kritik am Wohlstandsevangelium, löste jedoch 2017 mit seinem Übertritt zur östlichen Orthodoxie anhaltende Kontroversen im evangelikalen Raum aus. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er systematische Erklärungen zu zentralen Bibelstellen und regt zur Auseinandersetzung über das Verhältnis von biblischer Autorität und historischer Kirchentradition an.

I rejected the church for a time because I found so little grace there. I returned because I found grace nowhere else.

Philip Yancey

There is no perfect church. And besides, dear friend, if you ever found a perfect church, it would refuse to take you in. For as soon as it had taken you in, it would cease to be perfect. So your search is entirely useless.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
