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

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.

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.

Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist. Our existence is beyond our understanding. No one has an answer.

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race – racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic – what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God’s grace.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, ‚Hey, I did my religious duty.‘ That’s fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you’re talking to God. Even if it’s in your thoughts.

Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, ‚Be still, and know that I am God.‘ But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don’t need to carry it around with you after you’ve crossed the river.

I just think that it’s strong and it’s important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it’s about the birth of our Savior, and there’s a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.

When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Commodities such as gold and silver have a world market that transcends national borders, politics, religions, and race. A person may not like someone else’s religion, but he’ll accept his gold.

He chose to honor us with His priesthood. So we honor Him by honoring His priesthood – both its power and those who bear it.

It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

My grandpa was a preacher.

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.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

I just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.

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

To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

We have all had the experience of finding that our reactions and perhaps even our deeds have denied beliefs we thought were ours.

I did study religion for a little while. I studied the Torah and the Holy Koran, Helios Biblos, which is considered by most people to be the Holy Bible. I just wanted to know, even with Buddhism and the Dalai Llama.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

Everywhere I go I find that people… both leaders and individuals… are asking one basic question, ‚Is there any hope for the future?‘ My answer is the same, ‚Yes, through Jesus Christ.‘

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don’t have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.

People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

The Information Highway intrigues me because I have always been a newshound; I have always been curious about why people believe what they believe.

I want to tell people about the meaning of the cross.

Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

Even the best teams can fail. Celebrities can fade. There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you need to let your faith show!

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

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.

God’s got you in the palm of His hand. You won’t leave one second before your time. If God wants you to be here, then you’re going to be here.

That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.

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

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt.

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

I became a Communist by studying capitalist political economy, and when I had some understanding of that problem, it actually seemed to me so absurd, so irrational, so inhuman, that I simply began to elaborate on my own formulas for production and distribution.

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

The Bible is a sanctum; the world, sputum.

Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you’re supposed to be.

People love conspiracy theories.

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.

Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything.

Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.

I can tell you from experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author of all true success and everything that is good-without Him, we can do nothing of true value.

I see clearly that the thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity.
