Neal A. Maxwell Quotes About Church

Quotes about: Church

• Those who turn against the Church do so to play to their own private gallery, but when, one day, the applause has died down and the cheering has stopped, they will face a smaller audience, the judgment bar of God.

  Neal A. Maxwell

  Cheer, Play, Church

  Neal A. Maxwell

  Book, Church, Use

  Neal A. Maxwell

  Meaningful, Book, People

• I know the celestial criteria measure service, not status; the use of our talents, not the relative size of our talent inventories. I know that Church membership is not passive security but continuing opportunity.

  Neal A. Maxwell

  Opportunity, Church, Use
