I have been as sincere a worshipper of Aurora as the Greeks.

A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.

It is my desire, in the office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my whole heart. Having said this, I have said all.

Stay active. Read the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and growing. Your faith will be unleashed!

Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

I don’t need you to be funny. I don’t want to be entertained.

What the mind doesn’t understand, it worships or fears.

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

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

When we really worship anything, we love not only its clearness but its obscurity. We exult in its very invisibility.

I like Aurora, ‚Sleeping Beauty,‘ because she’s just sleeping and looking pretty and waiting for boys to come kiss her. Sounds like a good life – lots of naps and cute boys fighting dragons to come kiss you.

So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.

The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.

Machines are worshipped because they are beautiful and valued because they confer power; they are hated because they are hideous and loathed because they impose slavery.

I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin‘ hymns is a great thing to do.

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.

At Christmas, I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story. A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar. They came with their gifts to worship the Christ child.

I serve God.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

Sincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology – absolutely.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

The worship of the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly human goal.

Man, so long as he remains free, has no more constant and agonizing anxiety than find as quickly as possible someone to worship.

I’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.

I find a lot of inspiration through visuals. When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‚Runaway‘ music video. Something inside me clicked, like, ‚That is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or 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.

How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.

O, Thou precious Lord Jesus Christ, we do adore Thee with all our hearts. Thou art Lord of all.

To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.

It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one’s heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author’s soul.

Too many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.

God made and governs the world invisibly, and has commanded us to love and worship him and no other God; to honor our parents and masters, and love our neighbours as ourselves; and to be temperate, just, and peaceable, and to be merciful even to brute beasts.

Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.

As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.

Be sincere; be brief; be seated.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

I do not doubt that we would become more useful if we praised God more, and others would join us, for they would see that God has blessed us.

In a long meter hymn, a singer – they call it ‚lays out a line.‘ And then the whole church joins in in repeating that line. And they form a wall of harmony so tight, you can’t wedge a pin between it.

To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

Better than worshiping gods is obedience to the laws of righteousness.

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.

Man’s only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.

The fact is that when you do something from your heart, you leave a heart print.

I suppose my best attribute, if you want to call it that, is sincerity. I can sell sincerity because that’s the way I am.

The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!

It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.
