God is on my side, and that’s all I need. I get up in the morning, I pray to God. I don’t pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that’s the end of it.

Coincidences are spiritual puns.

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.

When you align yourself with God’s purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

I pray while driving. I pray while working, and while relaxing.

One of the great questions of philosophy is, do we innately have morality, or do we get it from celestial dictation? A study of the Ten Commandments is a very good way of getting into and resolving that issue.

For me, the essence of the great American Dream is spiritual. I believe that our Constitution is inspired and that it is based on principles that are timeless and universal. This is the reason why 95% of all written constitutions throughout the world are modeled after our Constitution.

You don’t have to give way to careless speech or complaining. You don’t have to let your feelings get in the way of what God wants to do in your life.

I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

The 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it’s been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.

Christ was God in human flesh, and He proved it by rising from the dead.

Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief.

I serve God.

I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you’re a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.

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.

Solemnity is proper in church, but things that are proper in church are not necessarily proper outside, and vice versa. For example, I can say a prayer while washing my teeth, but that does not mean I should wash my teeth in church.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

I’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It’s ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you.

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

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

We are twice armed if we fight with faith.

In heaven an angel is nobody in particular.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ. Christ teaches that God is love.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.

We’re all put on this earth to walk in His image, the Master.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord’s side.

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

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

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

We can never learn too much of His will towards us, too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.

The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin‘ hymns is a great thing to do.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

Non-violence is the article of faith.

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil… prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon.

From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That’s what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.

God always wants us to be growing.

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

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.

Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.

Lord, help my poor soul.

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.

I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.
