A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

When we understand string theory, we will know how the universe began. It won’t have much effect on how we live, but it is important to understand where we come from and what we can expect to find as we explore.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

Now that I’m a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot.

A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.

The Bible says that as Christians we don’t grieve the same way people do who have no hope of eternity and of Heaven – but we still grieve.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.

Truly, there is a Christian note which makes the whole World vibrate, like an immense gong, in the divine Christ. This note is unique and universal, and in it alone consists the Gospel.

When all is said and done, what constitutes the impregnable superiority of Christianity over all other types of Faith is that it is ever more consciously identified with a Christogenesis: in other words, with an awareness of the rise of a certain universal Presence which is at once immortalizing and unifying.

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 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.

I wouldn’t ever say if you’re having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

Don’t be misled by those who claim God doesn’t exist, because He does.

I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‚darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.

Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood or appreciated.

I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they’re not all growing in their faith, they’re not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.

Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.

To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

One word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks.

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.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it’s the real test of your character and of your faith to say, ‚Things are not going our way, but I’m still being good to people; I’m still attending church; I still have a good attitude.‘

Conversion is a change of masters. Will we not do as much for our new master, the Lord Jesus, as we did once for our old tyrant lusts?

I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.

I suppose for a very long time I’ve been trying to understand how it is that people might make sense out of their lives and make meaning and make their lives meaningful in the face of the trouble that life brings.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

I get up every morning and say, ‚Father, give me strength today, not strength so I can lift 500 pounds, but give me strength, Lord, so when I speak, my words might motivate, might inspire somebody, Lord, when they see me, let them see you. When they hear me, Lord, let them hear you. In your holy name I pray.‘

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.

So there’s no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesn’t necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesn’t necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame.

The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.

We’re all put on this earth to walk in His image, the Master.

If you want to live in the fullness of God’s anointing, fill your mouth with His Word.

I can tell you from experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author of all true success and everything that is good-without Him, we can do nothing of true value.

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.

If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

God always has patience.

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

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

We think when God speaks to us, there’s going to be a boom out of Heaven or we’re going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God’s talking to us all the time. He’s talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it’s the Holy Spirit talking to us.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

The degree of one’s emotions varies inversely with one’s knowledge of the facts.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

God has entrusted me with myself.

What air is to the body, to feel understood is to the heart.

It’s hard for me to grasp the concept of somebody being nervous when I’m talking to them.

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.

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.

If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is.
