Know that as a Christian, your destiny is to be Christlike in all of your ways.

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.

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

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

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

Have we been going up and down in business, and are those round about us as yet unaware of our Christian character? Have we never spoken to them the Word of Life? Lord, arouse us to a deep concern for all with whom we come in contact from day to day.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

I do not doubt that we would become more useful if we praised God more, and others would join us, for they would see that God has blessed us.

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

I am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.

For Christians, who believe they are created in the image of God, it is the Godhead, diversity in unity and the three-in-oneness of God, which we and all creation reflect.

Duty cannot exist without faith.

I believe that Jesus was, you know, the Son of God. And I understand that… we need to be really, really respectful to people who find that ridiculous and… preposterous.

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

Ronald Reagan used to alarm other constituencies by speaking freely about the End Times foreshadowed in the Bible.

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

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.

God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.

I guess you could say it’s always been my destiny to be a performer.

I’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Forgiveness is not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.

The other day the President said, I know you’ve had some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility. He paused, then said, would you like a puppy?

Act, and God will act.

God always wants us to be growing.

Each daughter of God is of infinite worth because of her divine mission.

I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life’s not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.

I tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.

God’s got you in the palm of His hand. You won’t leave one second before your time. If God wants you to be here, then you’re going to be here.

To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

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

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

However weak we are, however poor, however little our faith, or however small our grace may be, our names are still written on His heart; nor shall we lose our share in Jesus‘ love.

God’s desire is that we excel.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

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

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

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

But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day.

Even the best teams can fail. Celebrities can fade. There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you need to let your faith show!
