As a Christian, you forgive, and you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and you visit the sick and comfort the lonely. If I’m a true follower of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, I got to do the things you’re supposed to be doing.

He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

We were old sinners – but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

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.

My grandfather once ventured upon publishing a volume of hymns. I never heard anyone speak in their favour or argue that they ought to have been sung in the congregation. In that volume, he promised a second if the first should prove acceptable. We forgive him the first collection because he did not inflict another.

The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.

God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we’ve done or we’re about to do. At times like this, it’s wise to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions.

Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.

Even though God loves us, we still have a problem: sin. It’s important for us to learn how to confront sin and overcome it, because while God loves sinners, He hates sin. And He hates it because of what it does to us and how it keeps us from the abundant life Jesus died to give us.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

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.

Love… it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.

What if others suffer shipwreck, yet none that sail with Jesus have ever been stranded yet.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

There is no injustice in the grace of God. God is as just when He forgives a believer as when He casts a sinner into hell.

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.

If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.

Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.

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

May we do good everywhere as we have opportunity, and results will not be wanting!

The most powerful idea that’s entered the world in the last few thousand years – the idea of grace – is the reason I would like to be a Christian.

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

Forgiveness is not a one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an everyday thing, for the rest of your life.

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

Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

We pity in others only the those evils which we ourselves have experienced.

Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards.

There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require, in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs.

The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.

I have no further use for America. I wouldn’t go back there if Jesus Christ was President.

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.

Everywhere I go I find that people… both leaders and individuals… are asking one basic question, ‚Is there any hope for the future?‘ My answer is the same, ‚Yes, through Jesus Christ.‘

Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.

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.

Where love is, there God is also.

My mother told me, ‚Son, nobody else but God knows.‘ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That’s what I do.

I did 20 years in the Navy. I joined the Navy right out of high school and went through Navy boot camp, went to SEAL training, got done with that, and then showed up at a SEAL team, where I did 20 years. That was pretty much my whole adult life.
