I’m a Christian by choice.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

I answer only to God.

Life isn’t fair, but God is.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.

Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.

Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.

It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we’ve made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be.

The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.

The world is not imperfect or slowly evolving along a path to perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment, every sin already carries grace in it.

God made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.

I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It’s when you go backwards through the ‚begats‘ and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, ‚Hang on, that’s a big punishment for eating one lousy apple… There’s a human-rights issue.‘

I’ve seen my friends take someone back after they’ve cheated because they fit perfectly.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination – the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.

Solemnity is proper in church, but things that are proper in church are not necessarily proper outside, and vice versa. For example, I can say a prayer while washing my teeth, but that does not mean I should wash my teeth in church.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

Hate has no place in the house of God.

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

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.

Now, we can’t stop the devil from coming against us, but we can overcome him each time – if we exercise the authority of Jesus and decide not to put up with him.

Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.

The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.

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 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.

Was Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you. You just haven’t realized it yet.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

I 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.

Worshipping the Lord means giving Him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing – not only by our words – that He alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before Him that He is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.

All wars signify the failure of conflict resolution mechanisms, and they need post-war rebuilding of faith, trust and confidence.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

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

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

Forgiveness is not a one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an everyday thing, for the rest of your life.
