I read the Bible every day.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.

Sin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

God has entrusted me with myself.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

God wants to bless us where we are.

The Word of God is active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword.

Honoring the priesthood fosters respect, respect promotes reverence, and reverence invites revelation.

I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.

If in prayer I come before a throne of grace, the faults of my prayer will be overlooked.

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.

I tell people, and it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you a servant of Christ.

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

As you read or listen to God’s Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.

In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.

It’s so easy to settle for less than God’s best for us because we don’t always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God’s will.

We can never learn too much of His will towards us, too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.

Faith… must be enforced by reason… when faith becomes blind it dies.

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.

There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

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

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

If a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

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

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.

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

There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.

I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.

So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

As the father of eight children, I’m quite convinced that each individual arrives here with their own unique personality. We are intended here from an invisible held of infinite potentiality. That which has no form, has no boundaries – it’s the I that’s in the ever-changing body.

All religions have been made by men.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.

In heaven an angel is nobody in particular.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King’s daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.

I want to be just a pure spiritual leader.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

Fear clogs; faith liberates.

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

My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.

It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

I can tell you from experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author of all true success and everything that is good-without Him, we can do nothing of true value.
