A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.

I do know this… I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

I sincerely believe… that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

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!

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what’s happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.

I’ve been doing comedy longer than I haven’t been doing comedy, as I was performing for three years before I even got on ‚The Tonight Show.‘ There’s truly nothing like it; it’s intense and exhilarating, even though it looks so casual.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you’re advancing. If you don’t you’re as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn’t there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.

My own view is that this planet is used as a penal colony, lunatic asylum and dumping ground by a superior civilisation, to get rid of the undesirable and unfit. I can’t prove it, but you can’t disprove it either.

There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross. He’s paid the ultimate price for us, so I’m proud to be a child of God.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

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.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.

Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us… While what we call ‚our own life‘ remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make ‚our own life‘ less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?

Every tyrant who has lived has believed in freedom for himself.

No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

There is no man on Earth or devil in Hell who can keep you from the very best God put in you.

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

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.

If you will do what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that can keep you from having what God wants you to have.

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

God doesn’t do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.

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

I don’t believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.

My father always taught me that when you help other people, then God will give you double. And that’s what has really happened to me. When I have helped other people who are in need, God has helped me more.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

Our country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him.

God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.

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

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

Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist. Our existence is beyond our understanding. No one has an answer.

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.

God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

I don’t stand for the black man’s side, I don‘ t stand for the white man’s side. I stand for God’s side.

God always has patience.

Beto’s copy of the Bill of Rights goes from one to three. Mine includes the Second Amendment. But there are a whole host of people here in Washington… they would be happy to confiscate America’s guns. And if you don’t believe that, then you probably also still believe in Bigfoot.

The best augury of a man’s success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world.

If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.

Nobody believes in completely unadulterated capitalism.

It’s so easy to settle for less than God’s best for us because we don’t always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God’s will.

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

People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

Lord sanctify us. Oh! That Thy spirit might come and saturate every faculty, subdue every passion, and use every power of our nature for obedience to God.

Here’s something that’s contrary to popular belief: I actually don’t like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don’t. I do not like to think at all.

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

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.
