I’m grateful for the evangelical resurgence we’ve seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God’s doing.

The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light.

The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

The Christian’s Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you’ve got all the answers, then don’t call what you do ‚faith.‘

Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us… While what we call ‚our own life‘ remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make ‚our own life‘ less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?

One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is choosing the kind of universe you exist in: is it helpful and supportive or hostile and unsupportive? Your answer to this question will make all the difference in terms of how you live your life and what kind of Divine assistance you attract.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.

We feel and know that we are eternal.

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

We love things we love what they are.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.

The great question of our time is, ‚Will we be motivated by materialistic philosophy or by spiritual power?‘

The day we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior is one of the greatest days of our lives. Not only are our sins washed away, but God puts His Spirit inside of us and gives us new desires.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

Religion is compulsory in English schools, you know.

People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

All religions try to benefit people, with the same basic message of the need for love and compassion, for justice and honesty, for contentment.

I’m really trying to dredge up what one might call intellectual and moral material. For example, when do you realize that you are an American? What age does that happen to you? When do you realize what religion your parents practice? When does it all become conscious? I was interested in exploring all of that.

I have nothing to ask but that you would remove to the other side, that you may not, by intercepting the sunshine, take from me what you cannot give.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

If you have faith in our leaders of commerce, don’t buy gold. If you do not have faith in them, maybe you should buy gold or silver.

My children, to the extent that they have found religion, have found it from me, in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.

The truth is that you can only come to know God when you give up the past and the future in your mind and merge totally into the now, because God is always here now.

I never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

Heaven means to be one with God.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.

Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

From an eternal perspective, the only death that is truly premature is the death of one who is not prepared to meet God.

I give thanks to God and to all the people in the U.K. who have supported me over the years.

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

Prayer is a confession of one’s own unworthiness and weakness.

My mother told me, ‚Son, nobody else but God knows.‘ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That’s what I do.

I want to tell people about the meaning of the cross.

I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.

I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.

When I look back on my life as a whole, it is impossible for me not to feel blessed.

If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.

Most people already know what they’re doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

I think there’s a lot of similarity between what people try to do with religion with what they want from art. In fact, I very specifically think that they are same thing. Not that religion and art are the same, but that they both tap into the same need we have for surrender.

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

If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
