I was reared in the church, in the Presbyterian Church.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

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.

I’m a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.

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

Whether you call it Buddhism or another religion, self-discipline, that’s important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.

My father was a negative person. He actually taught me to be negative, if that makes any sense. I remember him saying: ‚You know there’s no point in expecting anything good to happen because it won’t.‘ I grew up in such a negative atmosphere.

I know that I’ve been guided by God. I am obedient.

Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

I 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.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.

Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.

The Bible is a sanctum; the world, sputum.

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.

I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I’m telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!

I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don’t believe that we’re supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God’s blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that’s how God leads us.

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.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

I was raised by a mother who told me I was great every day of my life.

My life as a child did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.

From my childhood I had been intended for the clergy. This prospect hung like a dark cloud on my mind.

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed… Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

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

When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that’s my religion.

Our inquiring friends and neighbors not of our faith can also catch the wave. We encourage them to keep all that is good and true in their lives. And we invite them to receive more, especially the glorious truth that through God’s eternal plan, families can be together forever.

My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

Even as a child, Muhammad Ali got perverse pleasure out of being different. He liked the attention it got him, but most of all he just liked being himself: odd and independent.

A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

I used to live with my grandmother. I used to wonder why the other kids in school went home with their mothers and fathers. I wanted to be the guy that got married. I wanted to be the guy with the children and the white picket fence. I never had that.

God always wants us to be growing.

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

Each 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.

I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

It was the experience of mystery – even if mixed with fear – that engendered religion.

If you want to live in the fullness of God’s anointing, fill your mouth with His Word.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.

Every child that isn’t born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

I tell you the groans of the damned in hell are the deep bass of the universal anthem of praise that shall ascend to the throne of my God for ever and ever.

A child thinks 20 shillings and 20 years can scarce ever be spent.

I wasn’t a kid growing up thinking, ‚One day I’ll get an Oscar and make a speech.‘ That wasn’t on my mind.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.
