They say miracles are past.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

There’s a belief that you’re supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don’t see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.

God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.

Allah’s the Arabic term for God. Stand up for God, fight for God, work for God and do the right thing, and go the right way, things will end up in your corner.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm. I love that.

Now I will say this to every sinner, though he should think himself to be the worst sinner who ever lived: cry to the Lord and seek Him while He may be found. A throne of grace is a place fitted for you. By simple faith, go to your Savior, for He is the throne of grace.

I totally disagree with the view that the Tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for Tibet, after the Dalai Lama passes away.

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.

It’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.

We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It’s ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you.

You might say, ‚Can’t we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?‘ In this way we’d become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.

I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.

There are some people who need to wear a label round their necks to show that they are Christians at all, or else we might mistake them for sinners, their actions are so like those of the ungodly.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

In spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.

Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.

We’re in the last days, man – I truly, in my heart, believe that. It’s written. I could go on with biblical situations and things my grandma told me. But it’s about being at peace with myself and making good with the people around me.

Luck is believing you’re lucky.

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

I don’t dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it’s gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin‘ White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It’s connected to where you are today.

I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.

Actually oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away.

People who think you could wave a magic wand and the legacy of the past will be over are blind.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‚O God, forgive me,‘ or ‚Help me.‘

I’m telling you there is hope. I have seen it, but it does not come from the governments or corporations. It comes from the people.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it’s the real test of your character and of your faith to say, ‚Things are not going our way, but I’m still being good to people; I’m still attending church; I still have a good attitude.‘

God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.

I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: ‚This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.‘ Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.

I don’t believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.

Our constitution is a ray of hope: H for harmony, O for Opportunity, P for people’s participation and E for equality.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.

I don’t spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that’s how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.

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

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

Men willingly believe what they wish.

I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.
