Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.

Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.

Everything has its limit – iron ore cannot be educated into gold.

I don’t think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.

Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect. God knows what’s best for us, though, so there’s no need to worry when things don’t go how we originally wanted them to go.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.

God is absence. God is the solitude of man.

I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

How is it possible for someone who believes that the world was created in six days to have a rational conversation with me, who doesn’t believe that, about other possibilities?

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.

I still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God’s grace.

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.

It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God – but to create him.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I’m telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!

I’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.

We should pass the U.N.’s Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. At least it will clearly establish whom you view as a terrorist and whom you don’t. We need to delink terrorism from religion – to isolate terrorists who use this interchange of arguments between terrorism and religion.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

We got rid of a terrible dictator. We gave the Iraqi people an opportunity for a new life under a representative form of government.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one’s death, one dies one’s life.

It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.

The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

The Gospel has never changed.

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.

If God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.

Morality is of the highest importance – but for us, not for God.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.

I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.

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

I groan daily under a body of sin and corruption. Oh for the time when I shall drop this flesh, and be free from sin!

The world around me has changed, and I have learned to adapt but not change. But I’m changing into the woman I am meant to be.

I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.

I don’t believe in icons.

The day we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior is one of the greatest days of our lives. Not only are our sins washed away, but God puts His Spirit inside of us and gives us new desires.

He is lost who is possessed by carnal desire.

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.

In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.

For me to talk with Obama and the conversation I had with him, I was letting him know that me and my fans have a special connection, and it’s love, and I believe that love is the answer.

He chose to honor us with His priesthood. So we honor Him by honoring His priesthood – both its power and those who bear it.
