I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

Our body is dependant on Heaven and Heaven on the Spirit.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm. I love that.

Humans are amphibians – half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect – if you’re a moderate on abortion, if you’re a moderate on gun control, or if you’re a moderate in your religious faith – it doesn’t evolve into a crusade where you’re either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.

If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.

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.

My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

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

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don’t care who people are as long as they’re themselves, whatever that is.

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

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.

I have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.

I’m not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don’t walk away from it when something unfolds.

Now I will say this to every sinner, though he should think himself to be the worst sinner who ever lived: cry to the Lord and seek Him while He may be found. A throne of grace is a place fitted for you. By simple faith, go to your Savior, for He is the throne of grace.

Time was when they that feared the Lord spake often to one another; I am afraid that now they more often speak one against another.

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

You may make some mistakes – but that doesn’t make you a sinner. You’ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you.

We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, but also because we have not yet eaten of the Tree of Life. The state in which we are is sinful, irrespective of guilt.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

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.

The ultimate connection is when you are connected to the creator of the universe.

Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don’t think God categorizes sins.

If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.

I’ve learned through my own relationship with God that He’s not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.

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

I think what’s important is for us to decipher what is honest and what is dishonest and be accepting of those things and not operating from fear.

Forgiveness is God’s command.

Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It’s tough to do that when we’re terrified about what people might see or think.

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.

I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

Let God’s promises shine on your problems.

Wonder is the basis of worship.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God’s children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

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

We make the Sabbath a delight when we teach the gospel to our children.

The just is close to the people’s heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.

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

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.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

Religion which requires persecution to sustain, it is of the devil’s propagation.

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

I’m a strict, strict agnostic. It’s very different from a casual, ‚I don’t know.‘ It’s that you cannot present as knowledge something that is not knowledge. You can present it as faith, you can present it as belief, but you can’t present it as fact.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

There are some people who need to wear a label round their necks to show that they are Christians at all, or else we might mistake them for sinners, their actions are so like those of the ungodly.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.

To feel not only submitted but willing to be anything or nothing as the Lord wills it – this is, in truth, to sing a song to our Well Beloved.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

I am not afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

God never promised us a trouble-free life.
