All my adult life people have been helping me.

Some Christians feel guilty when they are doing something that isn’t ‚spiritual.‘ Somehow or another, they feel the need to hurry through the grocery store, dash through the house cleaning, and rush through all the daily aspects of life that seem irrelevant to their faith.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong.

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.

All of us are mentors. You’re mentors right here and now. And one of the things I’ve always done throughout my life, I have always found that person, that group of people that I was going to reach my hand out and help bring them along with me.

I look after people.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.

Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.

Sometimes, you might meet somebody that you love that’s turning into a ‚they.‘ My key is invite them to Miami and take them to the ocean and let them jump off the boat in the ocean, on the sand bar, and cleanse off and pray and then go take a shower, and hopefully the ‚they‘ is out of you.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.

There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.

I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana’s loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.

I like the fact that Melbourne always seems to support their chefs and promote them in ways I find really admirable.

We cannot have communion with Christ till we are in union with Him; and we cannot have communion with the Church till we are in vital union with it.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

What if others suffer shipwreck, yet none that sail with Jesus have ever been stranded yet.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

It’s not about changing people; it’s sometimes about changing a situation. How can we build an even better situation for them?

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

Through fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.

Satan is the master distracter. He is always working to keep us off track in our walk with God.

A woman can’t be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can’t do it by herself.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don’t know.

I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.

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.

Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his 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.

I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.
