I’m a child of God first. Before I became a celebrity, I was baptized a Christian.

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

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.

I haven’t changed at all. I’m the same as when I was 11.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

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

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

My son’s full real name is Duncan Zowie Haywood. As a toddler, he was called by his second name Zowie. But it was such an identifiable name during the Seventies that if I called him loudly in public places, everyone would turn to stare, so I started calling him Joey to take the pressure off.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

You don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.

Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God’s word to justify bigotry and persecution.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

Heaven means to be one with God.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

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!

It’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

If cash comes with fame, come fame; if cash comes without fame, come cash.

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

Robyn is who I am. Rihanna – that’s an idea of who I am.

As a Christian, you forgive, and you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and you visit the sick and comfort the lonely. If I’m a true follower of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, I got to do the things you’re supposed to be doing.

Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.

For Christians, who believe they are created in the image of God, it is the Godhead, diversity in unity and the three-in-oneness of God, which we and all creation reflect.

The making of an American begins at the point where he himself rejects all other ties, any other history, and himself adopts the vesture of his adopted land.

‚They‘ is… stay away from them, please. There is so many different definitions of ‚they.‘ You might have a personal ‚they.‘ They against you; they want you broken and miserable. They don’t like winners; they don’t like people who’s blessed. So everybody’s got a different ‚they.‘

When I’m in the house of God, I don’t wear my jewelry, if you’re looking for my jewelry. All you see is my heart of gold.

It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God – but to create him.

Thoughts are fine when you don’t confuse them with who you are, and then thoughts are not a problem. Thinking is a wonderful tool to create things in this world. It only becomes problematic and a source of suffering when you confuse thinking with who you are.

God to me is love.

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

The infinite faith I have in people’s ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.

When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I’m praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I’m grateful that I’m heard.

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.

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

For those of you who do not know Him, choosing your eternal home is the most important decision you will ever make.

Being no bigot myself to any mode of worship, I am disposed to endulge the professors of Christianity in the church, that road to heaven which to them shall seem the most direct plainest easiest and least liable to exception.

It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

We are not at war against Islam.

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

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

We were old sinners – but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

Ritual will always mean throwing away something: destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.

I’m Mickey Mouse. They don’t know who’s inside the suit.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.
