Obedience brings success; exact obedience brings miracles.

Satan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.

The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.

I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.

People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing – continue to rock it – because obviously, God wants you here.

God 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.

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

I don’t think you ever really know what all you’re doing, so you have to act on faith.

To be Catholic is the only way of being fully and utterly Christian.

The 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!

God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!

We must show our Christian colors if we are to be true to Jesus Christ.

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

Let go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you’ll get to where God wants you to be.

If I err in belief that the souls of men are immortal, I gladly err, nor do I wish this error which gives me pleasure to be wrested from me while I live.

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

It’s in the difficult times that we’re growing and you can’t just rebuke everything hard. We’ve got to endure it and fight the good fight of faith and pass the test.

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, can ever compel the soul of a person to believe or to disbelieve.

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.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief.

The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

I 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.

Fear clogs; faith liberates.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

Conversion is a change of masters. Will we not do as much for our new master, the Lord Jesus, as we did once for our old tyrant lusts?

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

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

Bottom 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.

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

God knows what we are going through when we grieve, and He wants to assure us of His love and concern. He also wants us to turn to Him and bring our heartaches and burdens to Him.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

I’m grateful for the evangelical resurgence we’ve seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God’s doing.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
