In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.

But men must know, that in this theatre of man’s life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

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.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.

There are a lot of ‚chicken Christians.‘ Chickens are generally afraid of life, and they seldom fly or reach their potential in life. And when a storm comes, all they seem to do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken house.

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.

The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.

It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

Our inquiring friends and neighbors not of our faith can also catch the wave. We encourage them to keep all that is good and true in their lives. And we invite them to receive more, especially the glorious truth that through God’s eternal plan, families can be together forever.

Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.

Complaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.

One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.

Americans… still believe in an America where anything’s possible – they just don’t think their leaders do.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

I have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.

Yes, God does expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our intentions can make it happen. Thankfully, He doesn’t expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend on Him to make us holy.

I believe Karl Marx could have subscribed to the Sermon on the Mount.

If you’re in a workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness – and He’s putting His confidence in you!

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

Christ was God in human flesh, and He proved it by rising from the dead.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?

God enters by a private door into every individual.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

I’m a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.

Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

I don’t think a Jewish or Christian or Islamic state is a proper concept. I would object to the United States as a Christian state.

Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.

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.

Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.

Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.

Duty cannot exist without faith.

Through fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.

I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.

God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.

There’s always an element of self delusion among people who believe they ought to be President. There’s an underestimation of your opponent and an overestimation of your own abilities. This is compatible with being rich and powerful, the idea that we were blessed by God because we deserve to be blessed.

If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.

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

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

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.

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.

I don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.

We like security: we like the pope to be infallible in matters of faith, and grave doctors to be so in moral questions so that we can feel reassured.

I feel like my message is to let people know that God is a good God, that He’s on their side, and no matter what happens, He has a great plan for them.

What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.

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

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

There’s a belief that you’re supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don’t see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.

God has given us two hands – one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.
