From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.

In our home there was always prayer – aloud, proud and unapologetic.

That’s the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God – so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true… Hell, don’t pose me that one.

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

All that spirits desire, spirits attain.

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

A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit’s aid than he can create a world.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.

When all is said and done, what constitutes the impregnable superiority of Christianity over all other types of Faith is that it is ever more consciously identified with a Christogenesis: in other words, with an awareness of the rise of a certain universal Presence which is at once immortalizing and unifying.

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

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

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

When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

If you want to live in the fullness of God’s anointing, fill your mouth with His Word.

I have learned to know God. I have recast my social belief… All my admirers are married; most of my friends are dead; and I stand with all the world before me, where to choose a path to make in it.

God always has patience.

Nothing is further than earth from heaven, and nothing is nearer than heaven to earth.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.

The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you’ve got all the answers, then don’t call what you do ‚faith.‘

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God.

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

There’s a belief that you’re supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don’t see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.

The big message of gospel is that you don’t have to keep fighting the universe; you can stop, and the universe is quite good to you. There is a loss of ego.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination – the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.

It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.

I think God’s going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding.

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

When I’m in the house of God, I don’t wear my jewelry, if you’re looking for my jewelry. All you see is my heart of gold.

Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.

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.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

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.‘

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God’s children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

One cannot really be a Catholic and grown up.

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.

I will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help – and God’s.

Whether we’re happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.

God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.

I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, ‚I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior’s power to bless others.‘

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.

People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

To you I’m an atheist; to God, I’m the Loyal Opposition.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

I just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.
