“Gossip is multiplying like breeding rabbits in the Church today. We may pretend it isn't, but we're only lying to ourselves. We like to put pretty little bows on it in the Church today. We like saying that we're just passing on some information so that so-and-so can be prayed for by our other sister. We like to justify it in our heads, but sin is sin so I'm going to call it that.”
Anna M. Aquino
“We've become very good in our churches today at faking our concern when really we couldn't care less about the people around us.”
Anna M. Aquino, Cursing the Church or Helping it?: Exposing the Spirit of Balaam“There is a lost and dying world out there. They need to see that the Church is different from their socially-segregated high schools. They need to see a 'family' operating as a team, not a bunch of cliques playing a role.”
Anna M. Aquino, Cursing the Church or Helping it?: Exposing the Spirit of Balaam“The world sees the junk that is going on in the churches, and they don't want any part of it. If we really accept the Great Commission in Matt 28:19, we will put our differences aside, we'll stop asking, 'What is in it for me?' and we will genuinely start loving each other.”
Anna M. Aquino, Cursing the Church or Helping it?: Exposing the Spirit of Balaam“Stop being fake and start being real. Start being real with the people around you, and start being real with God. Churches are not Broadway musicals where we can play the role of a Christian. You may think that you can play a role with people and get away with it, but I tell you today that you can't play that role with God. He sees through your plastic smiles and fake veneers.”

We must be places of refuge for the nonbelievers and start being places they want to come. That doesn't mean that we will always agree on everything, but we must start pursuing unity.”
Anna M. Aquino, Cursing the Church or Helping it?: Exposing the Spirit of Balaam“The story of Balaam is also a good reminder that just because a person can flow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit doesn't mean they have character.”

Anna M. Aquino, Cursing the Church or Helping it?: Exposing the Spirit of Balaam“We used to live in a society where if we saw one person struggling in our boat, we'd all stop what we were doing and help that person. We'd all work together as a team. In today's world, we see that person struggling in the boat, feel glad it's not us, and pick them up and throw them in the water. We just don't really care about each other anymore.”
