I glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

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

Our God is a forgiving God.

Our faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

The faith that stands on authority is not faith.

A man is usually more careful of his money than he is of his principles.

Most of us have hoped and prayed for something to happen a certain way, but it didn’t. And when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense toward God or to trust Him anyway.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

Wars based on principle are far more destructive… the attacker will not destroy that which he is after.

He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.

I never saw a contradiction between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extraordinary figure, Jesus Christ.

No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

In the West, we have been withdrawing from our tradition-, religion-, and even nation-centred cultures.

We are twice armed if we fight with faith.

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.

Religion is just mind control.

A Religion of Evolution: that, when all is said and done, is what Man needs ever more explicitly if he is to survive and ‚superlive,‘ as soon as he becomes conscious of his power to ultra-hominize himself and of his duty to do so.

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.

Well, I’ll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.

Every person who confesses that Christ Jesus is Lord, repents of their sin and gives their heart to God is a child of God and belongs to Him. And in Christ, we are made right with God, we are His righteousness, and we have the power of Christ in us to live right.

Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne’er loved them.

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

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

All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

Next to religion, baseball has had a greater impact on our American way of life than any other American institution.

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

I don’t think Romney is wacky at all, but religion makes intelligent people say and do wacky things, believe and affirm crazy things. Left on his own, Romney would never have said something like the Garden Of Eden was in Missouri, and will be again.

The last thing the devil wants you to do is be an obedient Christian.

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.

If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!

This Sunday School has been of help to me, greater perhaps than any other force in my Christian life, and I can ask no better things for you than that you, and all that shall come after you in this great band of workers for Christ, shall receive the same measure of blessedness which I have been permitted to have.

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

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.

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

Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

When we speak of faith – the faith that can move mountains – we are not speaking of faith in general but of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

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.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

I have always believed in God.

God’s first creature, which was light.

I can’t prove it scientifically, that there’s a God, but I believe.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross. He’s paid the ultimate price for us, so I’m proud to be a child of God.

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

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.

Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.

Billy Graham is one of my great lifetime heroes. I think he epitomizes the essence of what a Christian leader should be. I have participated in some of his crusades a couple of times in Atlanta. I’ve seen the profound impact he’s had on me personally, and on other people who were not Christians and accepted Christ as Savior.

Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That’s something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.
