In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

God always takes the simplest way.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything.

I believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.

I was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

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

Even more amazing than modern technology is our opportunity to access information directly from Heaven, without hardware, software, or monthly service fees.

One of the most important concepts of revealed religion is that of a sacred covenant.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.

What really matters is how God sees me. He isn’t concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man’s soul.

So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.

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.

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

We hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods.

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody’s life.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

God doesn’t do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.

Satan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.

We are separated from God on two sides; the Fall separates us from Him, the Tree of Life separates Him from us.

Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.

Some Christians feel guilty when they are doing something that isn’t ‚spiritual.‘ Somehow or another, they feel the need to hurry through the grocery store, dash through the house cleaning, and rush through all the daily aspects of life that seem irrelevant to their faith.

Coincidences are spiritual puns.

Why am I here? I’m not lucky. That’s God.

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.

We make the Sabbath a delight when we teach the gospel to our children.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

I’m more of a realist when it comes to life, and I’d much rather my mother be in a spiritual place in Heaven than in a bed, sick, fighting for her life.

The incomparable greatness of the religions of the East lies in their having been second to none in vibrating with the passion for unity. This note, which is essential to every form of mysticism, has even penetrated them so deeply that we find ourselves falling under a spell simply by uttering the names of their Gods.

Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.

God is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we’re small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.

Worship is transcendent wonder.

I don’t set out to write about spirituality; I am free to do something different every time.

You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.

I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God’s bidding.

Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.

Politically, the world is so confused right now – there’s so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

Saints need sinners.

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

Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.

Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.

To be Catholic is the only way of being fully and utterly Christian.

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.

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.

God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.

The sky is the part of creation in which nature has done for the sake of pleasing man.

I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.

I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
