Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

I don’t spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that’s how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed… Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.

Saints need sinners.

We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

I’ve been praying that we might have a spiritual awakening. But I think that becomes possible as individuals surrender their lives fresh and anew to Christ.

I’m not a star. I don’t feel I’m so great. So how can I make you feel great just because you’ve got my signature on a piece of paper?

The beauty of me being on stage is I have a voice.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

People make suggestions on what to say all the time. I’ll give you an example; I don’t read what’s handed to me. People say, ‚Here, here’s your speech, or here’s an idea for a speech.‘ They’re changed. Trust me.

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.

I don’t believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.

Our words will either bring life and victory or death and destruction. If we want to be happy, we have to be serious about speaking words of life that line up with God’s Word.

The ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.

It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.

I’m ugly.

A master performer like Bill Clinton never lost sight of the fact that as president he had to project confidence and power, but if he was speaking to a group of autoworkers he would adjust his accent and his words to fit the audience, and do the same for a group of executives.

God always takes the simplest way.

You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.

Don’t be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard.

Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.

Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.

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.

You’ve got to have faith in what you’re doing and not take no for an answer.

It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.

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

Writing is like anything else – the more you do it, the better you get at it, the easier it comes, and the less concerned you’ll be about what’s going to happen to it, where it’s going, what it sounds like, whether it’s right.

I say that in the most humble way: I always knew that I could perform with the best of ‚em and I could deliver with the best of ‚em.

No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.

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.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Every person who confesses that Christ Jesus is Lord, repents of their sin and gives their heart to God is a child of God and belongs to Him. And in Christ, we are made right with God, we are His righteousness, and we have the power of Christ in us to live right.

I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

The best fashion advice I’d say would be just to do what makes you comfortable and what makes you feel cute, and that’s how you’re gonna look your best ‚cause when you feel your best, everybody else can feel it, too.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.

People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.

My message is that God is a good God.

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.

In the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.

Self-respect knows no considerations.

When Christians say God has been talking to them about something, it simply means they have a strong inner conviction or feeling that God has made His will known to them.

I realised a little bit to my astonishment that I can give a lecture for a thousand people, and there will be this tumultuous applause, so, you know, I have the feeling well, it can’t be all that bad.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

I wish that the Indians believed me a god, for upon the report of an enemy’s valor oftentimes depends the success of a battle, and false reports have many times done as great things as true courage and resolution.
