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

I’m really trying to dredge up what one might call intellectual and moral material. For example, when do you realize that you are an American? What age does that happen to you? When do you realize what religion your parents practice? When does it all become conscious? I was interested in exploring all of that.

Our faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

I have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.

I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

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

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.

As the father of eight children, I’m quite convinced that each individual arrives here with their own unique personality. We are intended here from an invisible held of infinite potentiality. That which has no form, has no boundaries – it’s the I that’s in the ever-changing body.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

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

Grow in the root of all grace, which is faith. Believe God’s promises more firmly than ever. Allow your faith to increase in its fullness, firmness, and simplicity.

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics – a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage – surely that proves that you are in the right?

As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.

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.

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.

Life isn’t fair, but God is.

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.

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.

We are separated from God on two sides; the Fall separates us from Him, the Tree of Life separates Him from us.

We hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.

Worship is transcendent wonder.

I read the Bible every day.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

A faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God – more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.

I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don’t know.

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

Time was when they that feared the Lord spake often to one another; I am afraid that now they more often speak one against another.

Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout’s obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.

Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that’s all. So we direct our values to material things.

I’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

Through fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.

I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.

You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I’m innocent. You’ve got to believe I’m innocent. If you don’t, take my job.

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

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

Say what you will about the ten commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.

What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

I think you can judge from somebody’s actions a kind of a stability and sense of purpose perhaps created by strong religious roots. I mean, there’s a certain patience, a certain discipline, I think, that religion helps you achieve.

I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.

Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.

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

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

God wants to help us… He loves us… we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help.

I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren’t random.

‚You are no saint,‘ says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

Forgiveness is God’s command.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

So far as the government is concerned, there is only one holy book, which is the constitution of India. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.

I thank God I’m myself and for the life I’m given to live and for friends and lovers and beloveds, and I thank God for knowing that all those people have already paid for me.

I got a greater purpose. God put something in my heart to get across, and that’s what I’m going to focus on, using my voice as an instrument and doing what needs to be done.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control.

The eyes of the soul of the multitudes are unable to endure the vision of the divine.
