A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism.

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.

Divide and rule, the politician cries; unite and lead, is watchword of the wise.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

Synergy is what happens when one plus one equals ten or a hundred or even a thousand! It’s the profound result when two or more respectful human beings determine to go beyond their preconceived ideas to meet a great challenge.

The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do, if it’s going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and actually believe in, and something they believe in.

Religion which requires persecution to sustain, it is of the devil’s propagation.

We will always be a family. Always.

It is easy enough to be friendly to one’s friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.

We all have to live together, so we might as well live together happily.

A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit’s aid than he can create a world.

Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are.

I hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone’s religion or belief.

It’s not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It’s not an accident. That’s a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.

The greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

Salvation and Christ’s love is a gift. You don’t earn it. You’ve got to receive that gift.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion.

Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.

I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God’s bidding.

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

You cannot be President of the United States if you don’t have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial in the Civil War and all that stuff.

The Bible says to ‚fear not,‘ but this doesn’t mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.

Now I will say this to every sinner, though he should think himself to be the worst sinner who ever lived: cry to the Lord and seek Him while He may be found. A throne of grace is a place fitted for you. By simple faith, go to your Savior, for He is the throne of grace.

I believe that Jesus was, you know, the Son of God. And I understand that… we need to be really, really respectful to people who find that ridiculous and… preposterous.

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

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.

If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.

When we have peace, then we have a chance to save the planet. But if we are not united in peace, if we do not practice mindful consumption, we cannot save our planet.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That’s what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.

Mormonism is a little different, but I still see them as brothers in Christ.

It’s one thing to be religious, but it’s another thing to make religion your policy.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don’t believe that we’re supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God’s blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that’s how God leads us.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.

I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.

The knowledge that we have brother scouts working in the same uniform, to the same ends, in the same way, in all corners of the Empire, cannot but make scouts proud of their brotherhood, and cannot fail to bring them into closer sympathy.

Prayer is a confession of one’s own unworthiness and weakness.

It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.

No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!

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

And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.

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.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.

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.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

Well, we can’t say any more than we can say there is no god, there is no afterlife. We can only say there is no persuasive evidence for or argument for it.

Occasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.

I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex.
