People don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

In the divine milieu, all the elements of the universe touch each other by that which is most inward and ultimate in them. There they concentrate, little by little, all that is purest and most attractive in them without loss and without danger of subsequent corruption.

The great question of our time is, ‚Will we be motivated by materialistic philosophy or by spiritual power?‘

The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

That’s the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God – so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true… Hell, don’t pose me that one.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

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!

As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor – over each other.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

Men would be angels, angels would be gods.

When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that He’s his savior – that’s good enough for me.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don’t think God categorizes sins.

Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

The question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books, by priests, philosopher’s or saviours. Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself, and that is why you must know yourself – Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self.

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There’s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

We often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers – a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.

When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher,‘ ‚Prophet,‘ ‚Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I’m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.

Life isn’t fair, but God is.

I’ve discovered that when we take time to renew our minds with God’s Word, we learn how to think like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.

I don’t set out to write about spirituality; I am free to do something different every time.

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

As a blind man has no idea of colors, so have we no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.

The Word of God is active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword.

One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is choosing the kind of universe you exist in: is it helpful and supportive or hostile and unsupportive? Your answer to this question will make all the difference in terms of how you live your life and what kind of Divine assistance you attract.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

God’s angels often protect his servants from potential enemies.

To realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details.

My mother always used to say, ‚Well, if you had been born a little girl growing up in Egypt, you would go to church or go to worship Allah, but surely if those people are worshipping a God, it must be the same God‘ – that’s what she always said. The same God with different names.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

It’s one thing to be religious, but it’s another thing to make religion your policy.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
