I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.

I’m just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we’re on. We can’t have any understanding of it, because we’re not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.

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.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.

Through the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

My children, to the extent that they have found religion, have found it from me, in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.

When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.

Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.

To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.

God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.

I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

I believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn’t think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him.

Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.

In the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.

If there is no God, everything is permitted.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

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.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

I don’t argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus‘ message was simple. Jesus didn’t go around condemning people.

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.

Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King’s daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.

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.

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

Allah’s the Arabic term for God. Stand up for God, fight for God, work for God and do the right thing, and go the right way, things will end up in your corner.

Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

If you want to live in the fullness of God’s anointing, fill your mouth with His Word.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.

I realize that many elements of the Buddhist teaching can be found in Christianity, Judaism, Islam. I think if Buddhism can help, it is the concrete methods of practice.

When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.

Tourism is a very big economic benefit to the Sherpa people, and also, they have very strong ties to their own social attitudes and their own religion, so fortunately, they’re not too influenced by many of our Western attitudes.

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.

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

When you align yourself with God’s purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.

That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that’s their gift.

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Glory be and praise to God. I didn’t do any of this. God did. I don’t have a recipe or a blueprint. I prayed for it, and my prayers are continuing to be answered.

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.

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

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

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

Communism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.
