Why I Left Church to Find Jesus Quotes

“Where the church demands, "Be holy!" Jesus whispers, "Be with me." Where the church says, "Call out the sinner!" Jesus says, "Reach out to the broken." Where the church warns, "The path is narrow and few find it!" Jesus, the Shepherd, says, "Out of my one hundred sheep, I'll leave the ninety-nine to find the lost one." Where the church cries, "Vengeance belongs to God!" Jesus weeps, "Father, forgive them!" Where the church claims, "God's justice is not diminished by his love."  Jesus says, "Divine love demands a justice that means victory for all, and all means all.”
