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

A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit’s aid than he can create a world.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

One word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks.

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

Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.

I’m really trying to dredge up what one might call intellectual and moral material. For example, when do you realize that you are an American? What age does that happen to you? When do you realize what religion your parents practice? When does it all become conscious? I was interested in exploring all of that.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I’m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.

I just think that it’s strong and it’s important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it’s about the birth of our Savior, and there’s a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.

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.

I pray while driving. I pray while working, and while relaxing.

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

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.

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.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

What if others suffer shipwreck, yet none that sail with Jesus have ever been stranded yet.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

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

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

By its birth, and for all time, Christianity is pledged to the Cross and dominated by the sign of the Cross. It cannot remain its own self except by identifying itself ever more intensely with the essence of the Cross.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

God’s love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.

Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.

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

Oh, come, Divine Physician, and bind up every broken bone. Come with Thy sacred nard which Thou hast compounded of Thine own heart’s blood, and lay it home to the wounded conscience and let it feel its power. Oh! Give peace to those whose conscience is like the troubled sea which cannot rest.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego’s insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.

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

For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.

No, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.

Right now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.

The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.

When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.

Next to religion, baseball has had a greater impact on our American way of life than any other American institution.

I’m actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.

Scripture is filled with examples of men and women whom God used late in life, often with great impact – men and women who refused to use old age as an excuse to ignore what God wanted them to do.

I am not going to Heaven because I have preached to great crowds or read the Bible many times. I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‚Lord, remember me.‘

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

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.

You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.

It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.

The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity.

The true identity theft is not financial. It’s not in cyberspace. It’s spiritual. It’s been taken.

Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

Wonder is the basis of worship.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

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.

It’s not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It’s not an accident. That’s a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.

You and I, the people of God, have permission to come before the throne of Heaven at any time we will, and we are encouraged to come there with great boldness.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything.

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

You just have to have a simple faith.
