I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination – the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

Dear friends, we may well sing to our Beloved when it is near the time of our departure. It draws near, and as it approaches, we must not dread it, but rather thank God for it.

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

Saints need sinners.

Until you pray, God cannot work.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

Faith… must be enforced by reason… when faith becomes blind it dies.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

The Word of God is active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword.

When I’m in the house of God, I don’t wear my jewelry, if you’re looking for my jewelry. All you see is my heart of gold.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

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

Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.

I believe that I have received Jesus Christ into my heart. I believe that he has covered all of my sins.

I’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.

So you cannot, as a Christian, walk away from Africa.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

When I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, ‚What sign do I want to give to God?‘ That question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear.

Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God.

Cast away your sloth, your lethargy, your coldness, or whatever interferes with your chaste and pure love for Christ, your soul’s husband. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of all your soul’s range of delight.

If you will do what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that can keep you from having what God wants you to have.

You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.

What I cry out for, like every being, with my whole life and all my earthly passion, is something very different from an equal to cherish: it is a God to adore.

I am God’s vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.

God knows what we are going through when we grieve, and He wants to assure us of His love and concern. He also wants us to turn to Him and bring our heartaches and burdens to Him.

The other day the President said, I know you’ve had some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility. He paused, then said, would you like a puppy?

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

I’ve been praying that we might have a spiritual awakening. But I think that becomes possible as individuals surrender their lives fresh and anew to Christ.

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

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.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

In spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.

God doesn’t do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.

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.

The Lord has often chosen to instruct His people in their times of trial.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.

Every day is a gift from God, no matter how old we are.

What really matters is how God sees me. He isn’t concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man’s soul.

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.

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

No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

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.

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.

My message is that God is a good God.

I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life’s not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.

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.

Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to victory.

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.
