Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.

Prayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian’s relationship with God. It’s how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they’re not satisfied with their prayer life.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

The Bible says to ‚fear not,‘ but this doesn’t mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.

Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there. Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man.

I just want to lobby for God.

Forgiveness is God’s command.

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

Let God’s promises shine on your problems.

Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

If you will do what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that can keep you from having what God wants you to have.

I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.

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.

You don’t have to give way to careless speech or complaining. You don’t have to let your feelings get in the way of what God wants to do in your life.

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

The Lord has often chosen to instruct His people in their times of trial.

God does not play dice.

How can one preach goodness and love to men without at the same time offering them an interpretation of the World that justifies this goodness and this love?

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.

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

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

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

Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

Don’t complain. The Israelites wasted forty years murmuring and complaining in the wilderness, when they could have just obeyed God and entered into their Promised Land.

Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

I believe that some of us who were kept by God a long while before we found Him love Him better perhaps than we should have done if we had received Him directly, and we can preach better to others – we can speak more of His loving-kindness and tender mercy.

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

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.

Base souls have no faith in great individuals.

I was inspired to spend an entire year – my 65th year – reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them and ultimately writing down these insights as I felt Lao-tzu wanted us to know them.

Do I live as carelessly and worldly as unbelievers while professing to be a follower of Jesus? If so, I am exposing Christianity to ridicule and leading people to speak evil of the holy name by which I am called.

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

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.

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

People just overshoot trying to find God. They’re going outside and trying everything. They don’t realize that it’s right inside themselves.

Act, and God will act.

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

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

Give yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you. This five-minute-a-day regimen of appreciation and gratitude will help you to focus your life in awe.

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.

To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

I cannot read a single word of the Hindoos without being elevated.

The older I get, the more important the eternal becomes to me personally.

I still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

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

Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.

If one accepts the terms of the covenant and obeys God’s law, he or she receives the blessings associated with the covenant.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

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.

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
