I don’t let my religious world get too complicated.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

In this world filled with challenges, we do need help from time to time. Religion, eternal truth, and our missionaries are vital parts of that help.

When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live as if there isn’t and to die to find out that there is.

I think you can judge from somebody’s actions a kind of a stability and sense of purpose perhaps created by strong religious roots. I mean, there’s a certain patience, a certain discipline, I think, that religion helps you achieve.

Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

‚You are no saint,‘ says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.

For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

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

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.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

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.

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

I’ve discovered that when we take time to renew our minds with God’s Word, we learn how to think like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act.

To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

And if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world.

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

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

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?

Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.

You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

There are a lot of ‚chicken Christians.‘ Chickens are generally afraid of life, and they seldom fly or reach their potential in life. And when a storm comes, all they seem to do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken house.

I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what’s happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.

The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

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

I don’t think you ever really know what all you’re doing, so you have to act on faith.

I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.

Refuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.

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.

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.

In the same way the sun never grows weary of shining, nor a stream of flowing, it is God’s nature to keep His promises. Therefore, go immediately to His throne and say, ‚Do as You promised.‘

In the divine milieu, all the elements of the universe touch each other by that which is most inward and ultimate in them. There they concentrate, little by little, all that is purest and most attractive in them without loss and without danger of subsequent corruption.

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

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

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Remember, we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Religion is compulsory in English schools, you know.

We are separated from God on two sides; the Fall separates us from Him, the Tree of Life separates Him from us.

God is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we’re small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.

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

I’m an atheist.

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

Scripture is filled with examples of men and women whom God used late in life, often with great impact – men and women who refused to use old age as an excuse to ignore what God wanted them to do.
