Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.
Martin LutherYou don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.
Dolly PartonI have learned to know God. I have recast my social belief… All my admirers are married; most of my friends are dead; and I stand with all the world before me, where to choose a path to make in it.
Florence NightingaleI know My God commands, whose power no power resists.
Robert GreeneNew York is definitely ready for the word of God.
Billy GrahamSincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology – absolutely.
Billy GrahamI know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord’s side.
Abraham LincolnIndividual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today – but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
Isaac AsimovThe Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.
Gilbert K. ChestertonIn Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Friedrich NietzscheKnowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.
Charles SpurgeonDuty cannot exist without faith.
Benjamin DisraeliPrayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Billy GrahamIsn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?
Desmond TutuThat God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.
Jean-Paul SartreIn the same way the sun never grows weary of shining, nor a stream of flowing, it is God’s nature to keep His promises. Therefore, go immediately to His throne and say, ‚Do as You promised.‘
Charles SpurgeonSince God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King’s daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.
Joan of ArcMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
Jesus ChristIf you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
Woody AllenWhen we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.
Jimmy CarterYou see, rebellion, and the disobedience it causes, keeps us from having the power of God that’s available to us as Christians.
Joyce MeyerIn 1995, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I had to practice what I preached. I had always said to ‚believe in God‘ and ‚don’t give up‘ to little kids who had been diagnosed with cancer. I then thought if I can’t call on that same God and same strength that I told people about, I would be a liar and a phony.
Mr. TFaith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.
Henry David ThoreauWhat the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert CamusYou’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.
Joel OsteenNo man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.
Robert Baden-PowellWe are twice armed if we fight with faith.
PlatoFirst of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.
Pope FrancisThere is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
Mother TeresaFaithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
J. R. R. TolkienI’ve always believed in God. I also think that’s the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you’re in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.
Stephen KingOur society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.
Lyndon B. JohnsonThere are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.
Billy GrahamToo many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.
Joyce MeyerTime was when they that feared the Lord spake often to one another; I am afraid that now they more often speak one against another.
Charles SpurgeonIt’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.
Joyce MeyerGod proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‚I love you.‘
Billy GrahamI do not doubt that we would become more useful if we praised God more, and others would join us, for they would see that God has blessed us.
Charles SpurgeonAnd know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.
Jesus ChristI have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.
Dylan ThomasPrayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.
Martin LutherGod’s desire is that we excel.
Joel OsteenI cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.
Friedrich NietzscheI am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
Jesus ChristBelief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise PascalI’ve always been – you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I’m just being who God made me to be.
Joel OsteenBut for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.
Mahatma GandhiI just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.
Joyce MeyerWould you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?
Kanye WestSo I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Jesus ChristGod wants to bless us where we are.
Joel OsteenGod always has patience.
Pope FrancisIn faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.
Blaise PascalTo have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
Alan WattsA beautiful homily, a genuine sermon, must begin with the first proclamation, with the proclamation of salvation. There is nothing more solid, deep and sure than this proclamation.
Pope FrancisLife isn’t fair, but God is.
Joyce MeyerAll of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Tennessee WilliamsThere’s plenty about God that I don’t understand and can’t explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He’s for us.
Joel OsteenWhen you face a ‚performance‘ that might provoke the ‚I’m scared‘ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‚Dancing with the Stars!‘
Wayne DyerI did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.
J. K. Rowling
