My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

When we speak of faith – the faith that can move mountains – we are not speaking of faith in general but of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!

Duty cannot exist without faith.

Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.

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.

I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.

Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal ‚security,‘ those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists – they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.

When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God’s Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.

Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing.

My wife is already in Heaven.

I fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.

The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‚Father, the atheists?‘ Even the atheists. Everyone!

Wherever there is a settled society, religion is necessary; the laws cover manifest crimes, and religion covers secret crimes.

When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‚I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,‘ you just scream.

In spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.

Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.

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.

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

God always wants us to be growing.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

I’m just hoping that people understand that Islam is peace and not violence.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

If a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.

I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

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 are never defeated unless we give up on God.

I’ve learned through my own relationship with God that He’s not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.

Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

I read the Bible every day.

Since 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.

My mother was Catholic, my father was Protestant. There was always a debate going on at home – I think in those days we called them arguments – about who was right and who was wrong.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.

I’m a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I’m even afraid of it – it’s a learned affectation and it’s just stuck on me like decals. Now I pray for humility because that comes from inside out.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of ‚easy believism.‘ There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven.

The just is close to the people’s heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

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.

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

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

Spend more time in study and prayer. That’s the secret of successful evangelism.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‚O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.‘ And God granted it.

It is not the body’s posture, but the heart’s attitude that counts when we pray.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

Religion and philosophy are to be preserved distinct. We are not to introduce divine revelations into philosophy, nor philosophical opinions into religion.

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to victory.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

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.
