Best 110 quotes of Adrian Rogers on MyQuotes

A church is an incubator, a nursery, a grade school. You start where people are and move them to where they need to be.

Adrian Rogers told us as often as he could he took the Bible literally. He illustrated by saying he believed the world was created in six 24-hour days. And he repeated this to make an impression upon us. In private (Jerry Vines was with us), I asked Rogers what he did with the slavery passages of the New Testament. Did he take them literally?
