God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.

When it comes to our everyday habits, it’s important to ask: ‚Am I putting God first?‘

To realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.

Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.

Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us… While what we call ‚our own life‘ remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make ‚our own life‘ less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?

And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he’s no longer God… They’ll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.

You may make some mistakes – but that doesn’t make you a sinner. You’ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you.

And poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God’s language – it’s better, it’s finer, it’s language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.

God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

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.

You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

I don’t believe in death, neither in flesh nor in spirit.

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

We were old sinners – but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

The word ‚Islam‘ means ‚peace.‘ The word ‚Muslim‘ means ‚one who surrenders to God.‘ But the press makes us seem like haters.

Personal success or personal satisfaction are not worth another thought if one does achieve them, or worth worrying about if they evade one or are slow in coming. All that is really worth while is action – faithful action, for the world, and in God.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

It’s a curse. I ask God to take this away from me all the time. I do not like being an artist.

The scab is a traitor to his God, his mother, and his class.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

We often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers – a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.

We all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist.

O, Thou precious Lord Jesus Christ, we do adore Thee with all our hearts. Thou art Lord of all.

The first fresh hour of every morning should be dedicated to the Lord, whose mercy gladdens it with golden light.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

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

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

Even more amazing than modern technology is our opportunity to access information directly from Heaven, without hardware, software, or monthly service fees.

Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.

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

Is man one of God’s blunders? Or is God one of man’s blunders?

God does not play dice.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

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.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.

Non-violence is the article of faith.

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.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.

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

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.
