Sometimes God will deliver you from the fire, and other times God will make you fireproof.

Bill GatesWe can never make ourselves better by trying… praying more or longer, studying more of the Word, performing good works, etc. Don’t get me wrong… it’s not bad to do any of these things. In fact, it’s good. It’s just that doing them in God’s power is the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives.

Charles SpurgeonI am a Catholic.
Paulo CoelhoThe men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

Jiddu KrishnamurtiI deal with more practical issues of the Bible.
Joel OsteenThe only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

Albert CamusTruth is a pathless land.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI 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.
Henry FordThere is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
Mother TeresaOnly God can look at somebody’s heart.
Joel OsteenIf any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word – prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles SpurgeonWe knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

Russell M. NelsonI do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.
J. ColePainting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van GoghLord keep us all from sin. Teach us how to walk circumspectly; enable us to guard our minds against error of doctrine, our hearts against wrong feelings, and our lives against evil actions.
Charles SpurgeonJesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.
Joyce MeyerI was in my late thirties when my eyes were opened to truth in God’s Word that showed me I wasn’t living the abundant life Jesus died for me to have. I had a very negative mindset and was miserable most of the time because of the abuse I had experienced throughout my childhood.
Joyce MeyerWe all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.
Joyce MeyerCoincidences are spiritual puns.
