Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal ‚security,‘ those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists – they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.

In the same way the sun never grows weary of shining, nor a stream of flowing, it is God’s nature to keep His promises. Therefore, go immediately to His throne and say, ‚Do as You promised.‘

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!

You know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.

Every day is a gift from God. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.

Each one prays to God according to his own light.

Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

The roaring thunder of the law and the fear of the terror of judgment are both used to bring us to Christ, but the final victory culminating in our salvation is won through God’s loving-kindness.

I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

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.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

I have something in common with Nazis in that I am opposed to the radical Left. And when you oppose the radical Left, you end up being a part of a much larger group that includes Nazis in it.

What we all want is public safety. We don’t want rhetoric that’s framed through ideology.

The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.

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.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

God wants to bless us where we are.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

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

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

Anti-Americanism is a pure totalitarian concept. The very notion is idiotic.

God always takes the simplest way.

What’s right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity – intellect and resources – to do some thing about them.

Faith is a state of openness or trust.

I try to look on all the great things God’s done, and not focus on the negative. It’s a perspective.

You don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

My message is that God is a good God.

I have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.

I am a Marxist Leninist and I will be one until the last day of my life.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it’s a very healthy discipline.

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.

My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.

Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.

There’s plenty about God that I don’t understand and can’t explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He’s for us.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

Libertarian socialism is properly to be regarded as the inheritor of the liberal ideals of the Enlightenment.

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

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.

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

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

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 then thought if I can’t call on that same God and same strength that I told people about, I would be a liar and a phony.

You just have to have a simple faith.

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.

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.

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

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

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.

My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.

The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.

Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.
