There are certain para-church organizations that the church needs that a church, no matter how big it got or how talented it got would never be able to do... I could get the smartest people we have [in our church of 6,000 people] and we're never going to be able to translate the Bible into some language of a people group. --Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church (From the Q&A with Chandler, Driscoll, and Chappell at Advance '09, beginning at minute 34:52 of the panel discussion)

Whatever religion or doctrine condones or makes allowances for sin...

"Whatever religion or doctrine condones or makes allowances for sin is not of Christ. The Doctrine of Christ everywhere teaches self-denial and mortification of worldliness and sin. The whole stream of the gospel runs against those things. Scripture emphasizes the 'holy' and the 'heavenly' (not the sinful and the worldly). The true gospel has not even the slightest tendency to extol corrupt nature, or feed its pride by magnifying its freedom and power. And it rejects everything that undermines or obscures the merit of Christ, or tries to give any credit to man, in any way. And it certainly never makes the death of Christ a cloak to cover sin, but rather it always speaks of it as an instrument that destroys it!" --John Flavel
