First 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.

If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

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.

Only God can look at somebody’s heart.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.

I’m honest enough to say I don’t know everything. You know, I don’t. I don’t understand all of God. I don’t understand, you know, some kind of why bad things happen.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it’s to have any meaning in this world – and stop being its apologist.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

Be sincere; be brief; be seated.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

He incurs a fearful amount of guilt who in the least promotes the aim of the Evil One by trampling upon a tender conscience in a child.

An injured friend is the bitterest of foes.

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

Fighting for one’s freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist. You work all day long and achieve some kind of level of success by nightfall, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with the job still to be done. So you start all over again.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

When 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.

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.

It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.

If there are people you haven’t forgiven, you’re not going to really awaken. You have to let go.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

The Gospel has never changed.

Men know not the gold which lies in the mine of Christ Jesus, or surely they would dig in it night and day. They have not yet discovered the pearl of great price, or they would have sold their all to buy the field wherein it lies.

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

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

All those who believe in psychokinesis – raise my hand.

People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.

If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
