Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.
Pope FrancisEvery people have gods to suit their circumstances.
Henry David ThoreauI 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.
Stephen HawkingOur faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.
William JamesAtheism is a non-prophet organization.
George CarlinTo ‚choose‘ dogma and faith over doubt and experience is to throw out the ripening vintage and to reach greedily for the Kool-Aid.
Christopher HitchensGod not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.
Stephen HawkingIt’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.
Joyce MeyerI desire to press forward for direction to my Master in all things; but as to trusting to my own obedience and righteousness, I should be worse than a fool and ten times worse than a madman.
Charles SpurgeonGod wants to bless us where we are.
Joel OsteenOur words will either bring life and victory or death and destruction. If we want to be happy, we have to be serious about speaking words of life that line up with God’s Word.
Joyce MeyerReligion is just mind control.
George CarlinFirst 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.
Pope FrancisA better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.
Douglas MacArthurGold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!
Mr. TI believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.
Henry FordI am a Catholic.
Paulo CoelhoBottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you’re supposed to be.
Joel OsteenI just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.
Joel OsteenOccasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.
Charles SpurgeonI don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.
Joel OsteenThere are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.
Charles SpurgeonBut for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.
Mahatma GandhiJesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.
BonoGod is everywhere.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamWe 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.
Charles SpurgeonMan is not born to atheism. He is born to believe.
Billy GrahamIn the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.
Desmond TutuI believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.
Joel OsteenI am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.
Christopher ColumbusI’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Joyce MeyerEach 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.
H. L. MenckenBe a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.
Martin LutherWe make the Sabbath a delight when we teach the gospel to our children.
Russell M. NelsonThe Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‚Father, the atheists?‘ Even the atheists. Everyone!
Pope FrancisI believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.
Pope FrancisIn 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.
Russell M. NelsonThe Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
Galileo GalileiIt’s God’s will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It’s God’s will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.
Joel OsteenThe U.S. is off the spectrum in religious commitment.
Noam ChomskyNon-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
Mahatma GandhiMy mother was Catholic, my father was Protestant. There was always a debate going on at home – I think in those days we called them arguments – about who was right and who was wrong.
David BowieI believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Lou HoltzThe truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.
VoltaireGod is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we’ve done or we’re about to do. At times like this, it’s wise to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions.
Joyce MeyerThe gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.
PlatoNot brute force but only persuasion and faith are the kings of this world.
Thomas CarlyleWhile we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive.
Henry KissingerNot only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Stephen HawkingI used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.
Mr. THe that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinBelief 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.
Blaise PascalI’ve always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it’s also been about confidence and faith.
Stephen CurryWhen doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God’s Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.
Joyce MeyerA person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‚Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?‘ We must always consider the person.
Pope FrancisReligion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaIn the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.
Pope FrancisIf you grow up in a very strong religion like Catholicism you certainly cultivate in yourself a certain taste for the intensity of ideas.
Brian EnoI believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.
Joel OsteenMen create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.
Aristotle
