Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.

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.‘

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

I’m a strict, strict agnostic. It’s very different from a casual, ‚I don’t know.‘ It’s that you cannot present as knowledge something that is not knowledge. You can present it as faith, you can present it as belief, but you can’t present it as fact.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

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’m honest enough to say I don’t know everything. You know, I don’t. I don’t understand all of God. I don’t understand, you know, some kind of why bad things happen.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you’d been the only man in the world.

All that the future holds in store for each sacred child of God will be shaped by his or her parents, family, friends, and teachers. Thus, our faith now becomes part of our posterity’s faith later.

I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what’s happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.

I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

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.

Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

I am just one of many thousands called to be an evangelist.

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.

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.

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.

I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I’m praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I’m grateful that I’m heard.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation.

Forgiveness is not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.

God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.

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.

It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

Agriculture not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own.

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

God’s angels often protect his servants from potential enemies.

My message is that God is a good God.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.

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

God made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.

Act, and God will act.

One word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks.

As a musician and a songwriter, it is an act of the ego to believe that other people might be interested in your point of view. But it is usually an empathetic nature that gets you going in the first place. Music keeps the heart porous in many ways.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

Let man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.

I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

The only thing that matters is submitting to the will of God.

I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

Worshipping the Lord means giving Him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing – not only by our words – that He alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before Him that He is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.

Refuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

It’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. 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.

In 1995, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I had to practice what I preached. I had always said to ‚believe in God‘ and ‚don’t give up‘ to little kids who had been diagnosed with cancer. I then thought if I can’t call on that same God and same strength that I told people about, I would be a liar and a phony.

A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that He’s his savior – that’s good enough for me.

Each daughter of God is of infinite worth because of her divine mission.

I’ve been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn’t feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere.

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