Through fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.

I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.

When I joined Nirvana, I was the fifth or sixth drummer – I don’t know if they’d ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

Development of outlook naturally begins with a respect for God… Reverence to God and reverence for one’s neighbor and reverence for oneself as a servant of God.

No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!

Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.

I love the natural world – it comes from my culture, which grew out of a people enslaved.

I feel connected to my generation through the music, but I also fear for us. We’re in a very self-destructive state where we’re addicted to outside opinions and we all feel like we have fans.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

When you align yourself with God’s purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation… But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.

Early on in my life, I had a broken soul. I was abused by my father, abandoned by my mother and ended up in a destructive first marriage. By the time I was 23, I was broken in my soul. I didn’t know how to think right. I felt wrong about everything. But God stepped into my life, and I came out on the other side and didn’t even smell like smoke.

The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.

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.

My grandpa was a preacher.

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.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.

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

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.

I believe that I have received Jesus Christ into my heart. I believe that he has covered all of my sins.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.

There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.

God doesn’t dwell in the wooden, stony or earthen idols. His abode is in our feelings, our thoughts.

If you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.

My lectures, based on Islamic teachings, were on various subjects. Some of the titles were, ‚The Intoxication of Life,‘ ‚The Purpose of Life,‘ ‚The Real Cause of Man’s Distress,‘ ‚The Journey to the Goal in Life,‘ and, one of my favorites, ‚The Heart of Man.‘ They contained important insights that spoke to something deep inside me.

Your body has space within you that cannot die.

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.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Lord, help my poor soul.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

I feel like my message is to let people know that God is a good God, that He’s on their side, and no matter what happens, He has a great plan for them.

I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.

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.

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

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

My mother told me, ‚Son, nobody else but God knows.‘ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That’s what I do.

I live in Puerto Rico, my family lives in Puerto Rico, my friends. What happens in Puerto Rico matters to me.

Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!

Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn’t feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.

It’s true my father abused me and didn’t love and protect me the way he should have, and at times it seemed no one would ever help me and it would never end. But God always had a plan for my life, and He has redeemed me.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

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

Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone’s singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

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.

Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light.

Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne’er loved them.

Many Tibetans sacrifice their lives.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

He is lost who is possessed by carnal desire.
