Intolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause.

The revealed Word awakened me, but it was the preached Word that saved me, and I must ever attach peculiar value to the hearing of the truth, for by it I received the joy and peace in which my soul delights.

I say, don’t try to fight your own battles because God will do it.

Belief creates the actual fact.

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.

If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God.

No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to victory.

I care not much for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

Time was when they that feared the Lord spake often to one another; I am afraid that now they more often speak one against another.

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

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

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

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Jesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.

I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.

Regardless of what society says, we can’t go on much longer in the sea of immorality without judgment coming.

It is my absolute belief that Indians have unlimited talent. I have no doubt about our capabilities.

Every day is a gift from God. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

This Sunday School has been of help to me, greater perhaps than any other force in my Christian life, and I can ask no better things for you than that you, and all that shall come after you in this great band of workers for Christ, shall receive the same measure of blessedness which I have been permitted to have.

We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.

Occasionally the conflict between ‚what we stand for‘ and ‚what we do‘ has been forthrightly addressed.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God’s grace.

The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

The U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.

Believers, look up – take courage. The angels are nearer than you think.

I’ve never dropped anyone I believed in.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name.

I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition.

You don’t have to be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.

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

It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.

Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

I’ve learned through my own relationship with God that He’s not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.

I don’t think that faith, whatever you’re being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don’t want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There’s so much mystery. There’s so much awe.

How sweet it is to learn the Savior’s love when nobody else loves us! When friends flee, what a blessed thing it is to see that the Savior does not forsake us but still keeps us and holds us fast and clings to us and will not let us go!

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

Truly, there is a Christian note which makes the whole World vibrate, like an immense gong, in the divine Christ. This note is unique and universal, and in it alone consists the Gospel.

The faith that stands on authority is not faith.

The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision of psychiatry.

I read the Bible every day.

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

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I’ll forgive Thy great big joke on me.

There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.

I’ve always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it’s also been about confidence and faith.

Each time we cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us – more freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings.

In spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.

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.
