I’m a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.

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

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Don’t let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

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.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

Men often take their imagination for their heart; and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.

When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

God never promised us a trouble-free 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.

You and I, the people of God, have permission to come before the throne of Heaven at any time we will, and we are encouraged to come there with great boldness.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

She believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.

The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

I have already demonstrated, by crucial tests, the practicability of signaling by my system from one to any other point of the globe, no matter how remote, and I shall soon convert the disbelievers.

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

We do not pray to God to instruct Him as to what He should do; neither for a moment must we presume to dictate the method of the divine working.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm. I love that.

Nothing is more dangerous to one’s own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I’ll forgive Thy great big joke on me.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Better to die ten thousand deaths than wound my honor.

Memories are thoughts that arise. They’re not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it’s just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

I have this feeling that the world is not in balance. And people are afraid, but we’re also starting to be really brave.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

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

God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!

People often speak of God being even-handed. God is not even-handed. God is biased, in favor of the weak, of the despised.

When you align yourself with God’s purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

If you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.

You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy’s ranks.

O, Thou precious Lord Jesus Christ, we do adore Thee with all our hearts. Thou art Lord of all.

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.

The valiant never taste of death but once.

If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.

No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I’m willing to show you. In you, it’s courage and daring. In me, it’s weakness.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

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.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

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.

The less you know, the more you believe.

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.

The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation… But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.
