Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.

My message is that God is a good God.

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

Your Highest Self is not just an idea that sounds lofty and spiritual. It is a way of being. It is the very first principle that you must come to understand and embrace as you move toward attracting to you that which you want and need for this parenthesis in eternity that you know as your life.

Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, ‚Be still, and know that I am God.‘ But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don’t need to carry it around with you after you’ve crossed the river.

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 believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.

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.

I’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

We should never let material things get ahead of God or become so important in our lives that we can’t walk away from them if He tells us to. Anything you own that has a hold on you is a problem.

The incomparable greatness of the religions of the East lies in their having been second to none in vibrating with the passion for unity. This note, which is essential to every form of mysticism, has even penetrated them so deeply that we find ourselves falling under a spell simply by uttering the names of their Gods.

After one has been in prison, it is the small things that one appreciates: being able to take a walk whenever one wants, going into a shop and buying a newspaper, speaking or choosing to remain silent. The simple act of being able to control one’s person.

Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

Give thy thoughts no tongue.

I am a little too absorbed by science to be able to philosophise much; but the more I look into myself, the more I find myself possessed by the conviction that it is only the science of Christ running through all things, that is to say true mystical science, that really matters. I let myself get caught up in the game when I geologise.

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

Everything for me is sacred, beginning with earth, but also going to things made by man.

I don’t believe in ‚thinking‘ old. Although I’ve transitioned through many bodies – a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult – my spirit is unchanged. I support my body with exercise, my mind with reading and writing, and my spirit with the knowing that I am part of the Divine source of all life.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

The first fresh hour of every morning should be dedicated to the Lord, whose mercy gladdens it with golden light.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.

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.

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.

The blessed of us must save the less of us. I’m blessed, and yeah, I’m planning to go to Heaven.

Sleep is the best meditation.

I spent most of the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves.

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.

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.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

If you can’t hear me, it’s because I’m in parentheses.

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.

It says nothing against the ripeness of a spirit that it has a few worms.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They’re going outside and trying everything. They don’t realize that it’s right inside themselves.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

There’s plenty about God that I don’t understand and can’t explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He’s for us.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any forum that would require me to stop talking for three hours.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God.

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.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‚O God, forgive me,‘ or ‚Help me.‘

The older I get, the more important the eternal becomes to me personally.

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

We make the Sabbath a delight when we teach the gospel to our children.

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.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

He best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him.

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

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

Many Tibetans sacrifice their lives.
