I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‚Lord, remember me.‘

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

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.

I used to read five psalms every day – that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

Jesus didn’t die for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not.

I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.

Our God is a forgiving God.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.

I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

When you align yourself with God’s purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

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?‘

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

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

What I cry out for, like every being, with my whole life and all my earthly passion, is something very different from an equal to cherish: it is a God to adore.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

I never saw a contradiction between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extraordinary figure, Jesus Christ.

I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn’t have put the desire in me.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!

A man cannot become an atheist merely by wishing it.

I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it’s so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.

Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

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

You just have to have a simple faith.

As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

You’ve got to have faith in what you’re doing and not take no for an answer.

No sinner is ever saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

I’ve always been – you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I’m just being who God made me to be.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.

Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

Joy is the serious business of Heaven.

If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don’t want to go there.

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

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.

If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God’s word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.

In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?

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

As we are, so we associate. The good, by affinity, seek the good; the vile, by affinity, the vile. Thus of their own volition, souls proceed into Heaven, into Hell.

I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I’m wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.

I get up every morning and say, ‚Father, give me strength today, not strength so I can lift 500 pounds, but give me strength, Lord, so when I speak, my words might motivate, might inspire somebody, Lord, when they see me, let them see you. When they hear me, Lord, let them hear you. In your holy name I pray.‘

Faith… must be enforced by reason… when faith becomes blind it dies.

If a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.

I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

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.

Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal ‚security,‘ those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists – they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.
