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

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

I’m a Christian – I really don’t believe in UFOs.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

It’s like a jar of salad dressing sitting on a shelf… most of the seasoning settles to the bottom of the bottle. But when you shake that bottle up, all the ingredients mix together and then the dressing can add flavor to a salad. In the same way, we can stir ourselves up and regain the reverence, respect and awe we once had for the Lord.

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

Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin‘ hymns is a great thing to do.

It’s in the difficult times that we’re growing and you can’t just rebuke everything hard. We’ve got to endure it and fight the good fight of faith and pass the test.

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

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

If ever I expected to come face to face with an angry Christian fundamentalist, it wasn’t in FAO Schwarz.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

You’ll see it when you believe it.

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

Obedience brings success; exact obedience brings miracles.

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.

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 always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

Stay active. Read the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and growing. Your faith will be unleashed!

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.

When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you’d been the only man in the world.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

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.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.

I think I’m like most people – we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don’t deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it’s very hard not to be fearless.

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

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 am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.

We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first, rock ‚n‘ roll or Christianity.

Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.

It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.

Christ didn’t choose the rich to preach the doctrine; he choose 12 poor ignorant workers – that is, he chose the proletariat of the times.

Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.

Don’t be misled by those who claim God doesn’t exist, because He does.

Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.

There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.

Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?

I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.

Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.

Man is supposed to be the maker of his destiny. It is only partly true. He can make his destiny, only in so far as he is allowed by the Great Power.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.

I don’t argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus‘ message was simple. Jesus didn’t go around condemning people.

I just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.

The progress of India is the destiny of one-sixth of humanity. And it will also mean a world more confident of its prosperity and more secure about its future.

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.

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.

O God, we praise Thee for keeping us till this day, and for the full assurance that Thou wilt never let us go.

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

A faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God – more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.

Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.

Certain though I am – and ever more certain – that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ. Christ teaches that God is love.

Occasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

I’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.
