God’s angels often protect his servants from potential enemies.

Jesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.

I believe that some of us who were kept by God a long while before we found Him love Him better perhaps than we should have done if we had received Him directly, and we can preach better to others – we can speak more of His loving-kindness and tender mercy.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

Duty cannot exist without faith.

Truly, there is a Christian note which makes the whole World vibrate, like an immense gong, in the divine Christ. This note is unique and universal, and in it alone consists the Gospel.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: ‚This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.‘ Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.

Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal ‚security,‘ those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists – they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.

If we are hungry enough for God, we will find a way into His presence. We should be so hungry for the presence of God that we absolutely will not go out of our house or tackle any kind of project until we have spent some time with Him.

The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.

Believers, look up – take courage. The angels are nearer than you think.

Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.

Creation is a miracle of daily recurrence. ‚A miracle a minute‘ would not be a bad slogan for God.

A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.

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.

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.

I think I’m like most people – we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don’t deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it’s very hard not to be fearless.

It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods.

The American people are bigger than any president. I suppose I have faith in my country and in what it is founded on and the values we hold dear.

It’s in the difficult times that we’re growing and you can’t just rebuke everything hard. We’ve got to endure it and fight the good fight of faith and pass the test.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

But men must know, that in this theatre of man’s life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

To every soul that knows how to pray, to every soul that by faith comes to Jesus, the true mercy seat, divine sovereignty wears no dark and terrible aspect but is full of love.

Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

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

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.

I’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

The Gospel has never changed.

I tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.

After the chaos and carnage of September 11th, it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers.

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

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.

Base souls have no faith in great individuals.

I am a Catholic, not so committed to the church, but to the idea of the Virgin, the female face of God.

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.

Let man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.

If I had any talent that God could give me, I would be a great diva.

Faith activates God – Fear activates the Enemy.

He is dead in this world who has no belief in another.

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

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.

God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.

The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.

It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.

Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

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