Faith is a state of openness or trust.

You don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

You have to be tough and have a lot of faith.

I trust Russia and China and Iran and North Korea like I trust a Jussie Smollett police report.

I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.

Where love is, there God is also.

People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing – continue to rock it – because obviously, God wants you here.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

God always has patience.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

In times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

As you read or listen to God’s Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.

Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God’s word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.

Our country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him.

For me, the real earth is that chosen part of the universe, still almost universally dispersed and in course of gradual segregation, but which is little by little taking on body and form in Christ.

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

God doesn’t do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.

To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.

Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.

To every soul that knows how to pray, to every soul that by faith comes to Jesus, the true mercy seat, divine sovereignty wears no dark and terrible aspect but is full of love.

Worshipping the Lord means giving Him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing – not only by our words – that He alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before Him that He is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.

The amount of trust and bandwidth that you build up working with someone for five, seven, 10 years? It’s just awesome. I care about openness and connectedness in a global sense.

From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That’s what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

Lord keep us all from sin. Teach us how to walk circumspectly; enable us to guard our minds against error of doctrine, our hearts against wrong feelings, and our lives against evil actions.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.

Prayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian’s relationship with God. It’s how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they’re not satisfied with their prayer life.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin‘ hymns is a great thing to do.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

This Sunday School has been of help to me, greater perhaps than any other force in my Christian life, and I can ask no better things for you than that you, and all that shall come after you in this great band of workers for Christ, shall receive the same measure of blessedness which I have been permitted to have.

We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.

Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you’ve got all the answers, then don’t call what you do ‚faith.‘

There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.

Pray, and let God worry.

Man is not born to atheism. He is born to believe.

The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.

We’re not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.

If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.

God helps those who help themselves.

I’ve got nothing to hide.

There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.

There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you’re supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.

We should never let material things get ahead of God or become so important in our lives that we can’t walk away from them if He tells us to. Anything you own that has a hold on you is a problem.

God never promised us a trouble-free life.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
