I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this – that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made – not to understand – but to feel – as crime.

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.

We are twice armed if we fight with faith.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

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.

God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

I have learned to know God. I have recast my social belief… All my admirers are married; most of my friends are dead; and I stand with all the world before me, where to choose a path to make in it.

If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.

The American people are bigger than any president. I suppose I have faith in my country and in what it is founded on and the values we hold dear.

People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

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.

The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.

Luck is believing you’re lucky.

Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.

Dear friends, we may well sing to our Beloved when it is near the time of our departure. It draws near, and as it approaches, we must not dread it, but rather thank God for it.

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.

God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don’t have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I’m sure he didn’t call everybody jerks.

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you’re advancing. If you don’t you’re as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn’t there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

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

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

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.

‚You are no saint,‘ says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.

Our faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.

If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.

It’s amazing how people will give when you don’t ask. Many of them send money because they believe in the message.

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

If God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

Start your week off right by getting back to what is really important – honoring God.

I’m just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we’re on. We can’t have any understanding of it, because we’re not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.

The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

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 don’t want to impugn the motives of my colleagues, but my attitude is, speaking just for me, you either believe in border security or you don’t.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘

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.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

Most of us have hoped and prayed for something to happen a certain way, but it didn’t. And when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense toward God or to trust Him anyway.

Have we been going up and down in business, and are those round about us as yet unaware of our Christian character? Have we never spoken to them the Word of Life? Lord, arouse us to a deep concern for all with whom we come in contact from day to day.

I don’t think I’ve ever been an agnostic. I’ve always thought there’s a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there’s a world to come.

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Lord sanctify us. Oh! That Thy spirit might come and saturate every faculty, subdue every passion, and use every power of our nature for obedience to God.

When the mind is empty, silent, when it is in a state of complete negation – which is not blankness, nor the opposite of being positive, but a totally different state in which all thought has ceased – only then is it possible for that which is unnameable to come into being.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.

A faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God – more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.

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

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

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