All religions have been made by men.

I’m just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we’re on. We can’t have any understanding of it, because we’re not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.

I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society.

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

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.

Every spirit makes its house, and we can give a shrewd guess from the house to the inhabitant.

The Church is like a great tree whose roots must be energetically anchored in the earth while its leaves are serenely exposed to the bright sunlight. In this way, she sums up a whole gamut of beats in a single living and all-embracing act, each one of which corresponds to a particular degree or a possible form of spiritualisation.

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

So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.

My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

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.

Whenever you’re going through a tough time, generally, you become more compassionate, you become softer, you become more thoughtful, kinder. These are all spiritual qualities that will help you to align yourself with God and God consciousness rather than with a split fear-based consciousness.

Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

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

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

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

If in prayer I come before a throne of grace, the faults of my prayer will be overlooked.

There’s only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.

God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

I have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.

I know, to banish anger altogether from one’s breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God’s grace.

As you read or listen to God’s Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.

Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.

Some Christians feel guilty when they are doing something that isn’t ‚spiritual.‘ Somehow or another, they feel the need to hurry through the grocery store, dash through the house cleaning, and rush through all the daily aspects of life that seem irrelevant to their faith.

Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It’s because I’m not quite an atheist and it worries me. There’s that little bit that holds on: ‚Well, I’m almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.‘

I want to be just a pure spiritual leader.

Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

A Religion of Evolution: that, when all is said and done, is what Man needs ever more explicitly if he is to survive and ‚superlive,‘ as soon as he becomes conscious of his power to ultra-hominize himself and of his duty to do so.

How can one preach goodness and love to men without at the same time offering them an interpretation of the World that justifies this goodness and this love?

The last thing the devil wants you to do is be an obedient Christian.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

I think you can judge from somebody’s actions a kind of a stability and sense of purpose perhaps created by strong religious roots. I mean, there’s a certain patience, a certain discipline, I think, that religion helps you achieve.

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.

It is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a man should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.

You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.

If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values – that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.

We must respect the other fellow’s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.

The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.

They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus, that means guns, sex, lies, video tapes, but if I talk about God my record won’t get played Huh?

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

What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

When 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!‘
