Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

The earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth.

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It’s when you go backwards through the ‚begats‘ and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, ‚Hang on, that’s a big punishment for eating one lousy apple… There’s a human-rights issue.‘

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

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

My mother was Catholic, my father was Protestant. There was always a debate going on at home – I think in those days we called them arguments – about who was right and who was wrong.

If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

If God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.

He chose to honor us with His priesthood. So we honor Him by honoring His priesthood – both its power and those who bear it.

One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.

All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.

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.

What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope… It is not a reflection of all religious people.

Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.

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!

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.

I don’t believe in the school of hard knocks, although I’ve had them. All that stuff about whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is so not true. Do you know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.
