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

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

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

Nobody should come to the movies unless he believes in heroes.

I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

I believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

Freedom does not die from frontal attack. It dies because men in power no longer believe in a system based upon liberty.

Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.

I think there’s a lot of similarity between what people try to do with religion with what they want from art. In fact, I very specifically think that they are same thing. Not that religion and art are the same, but that they both tap into the same need we have for surrender.

So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

There’s plenty about God that I don’t understand and can’t explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He’s for us.

Extremely religious, legalistic people have a criticism or judgment about everyone and everything. They just have a way of bringing people down with what they say.

I believe things cannot make themselves impossible.

Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.

I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don’t believe that we’re supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God’s blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that’s how God leads us.

All religions and all communities have the same rights, and it is my responsibility to ensure their complete and total protection. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

Mysteries are not necessarily miracles.

We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for.

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

There’s nothing hippie about my picture of Christ. The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.

I remember how my mother would bring us to chapel on Sundays… and my father used to wait outside. One of the things that I picked up from my father and my mother was the sense that religion often gets in the way of God. For me, at least, it got in the way.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‚darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.

Will and intellect are one and the same thing.

I’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven. I don’t know.

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.

Man, so long as he remains free, has no more constant and agonizing anxiety than find as quickly as possible someone to worship.

There is no scriptural basis for segregation.

Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.

I was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you.

Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.

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.

I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.

There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross. He’s paid the ultimate price for us, so I’m proud to be a child of God.

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.

Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.

All truth is simple… is that not doubly a lie?

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our head, and that is the end forever.

Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.

Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.

If you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.

If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.

I’m a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.

The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.

To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other’s speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.
