The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.

I think God’s justice is making wrongs right.

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

Salvation and Christ’s love is a gift. You don’t earn it. You’ve got to receive that gift.

At the age when other children, I imagine, experience their first ‚feeling‘ for a person, or for art, or for religion, I was affectionate, good, and even pious: by that I mean that under the influence of my mother, I was devoted to the Child Jesus.

I am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.

All men are born with a nose and five fingers, but no one is born with a knowledge of God.

I believe in being an innovator.

In times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises.

We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can; and to fly away is to become like God, as far as this is possible; and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.

My focus is my art, and that’s what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I’ve turned down many things that I just didn’t believe in.

Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.

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

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

In 1995, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I had to practice what I preached. I had always said to ‚believe in God‘ and ‚don’t give up‘ to little kids who had been diagnosed with cancer.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

I have always believed in God.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

The most effective prayers are usually the simple prayers.

I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.
