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.

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.

A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.

I fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.

Jesus said, ‚The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.‘ I think if he lived nowadays, instead of ‚kingdom,‘ he would have said, ‚dimension.‘ And ‚heaven‘ refers to a sense of vastness or spaciousness.

I don’t believe in death, neither in flesh nor in spirit.

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

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

I am not going to Heaven because I have preached to great crowds or read the Bible many times. I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‚Lord, remember me.‘

When Christians say God has been talking to them about something, it simply means they have a strong inner conviction or feeling that God has made His will known to them.

I was reared in the church, in the Presbyterian Church.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.

Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.

The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.

About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they’re just one thing.

Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.

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

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

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

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

I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, ‚I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior’s power to bless others.‘

God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.

Where love is, there God is also.

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.

Act, and God will act.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect. God knows what’s best for us, though, so there’s no need to worry when things don’t go how we originally wanted them to go.

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

All religions must be tolerated… for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.

The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.

I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

God is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we’re small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.

Until you pray, God cannot work.

I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.

Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.

Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.

The fellow that can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he can’t make anybody believe that he has it.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

I tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.

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.

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.

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

The infinite faith I have in people’s ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

Man has throughout the ages been seeking something beyond himself, beyond material welfare – something we call truth or God or reality, a timeless state – something that cannot be disturbed by circumstances, by thought or by human corruption.

Despotism can only exist in darkness, and there are too many lights now in the political firmament to permit it to remain anywhere, as it has heretofore done, almost everywhere.

An evil person is like a dirty window, they never let the light shine through.

Honoring the priesthood fosters respect, respect promotes reverence, and reverence invites revelation.

From an eternal perspective, the only death that is truly premature is the death of one who is not prepared to meet God.

Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.
