We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

The husband who decides to surprise his wife is often very much surprised himself.

Joy is the serious business of Heaven.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

I think God’s justice is making wrongs right.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

Heaven is a state of mind, not a location, since Spirit is everywhere and in everything.

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

Common Core is a big win for education.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.

God answers prayers, but he doesn’t always answer it your way.

But men must know, that in this theatre of man’s life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

People tend to play in their comfort zone, so the best things are achieved in a state of surprise, actually.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God’s children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.

I have my own vocabulary. I love linguistics. That surprises people.

I believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.

That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

I do know this… I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.

We’re all sinners. Everybody you meet all over the world is a sinner.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

People are always coming up to me and saying, ‚I heard your dad’s speech, and it’s really great.‘ And they’ll mention some place I didn’t even know my dad was going to.

I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.

Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

If God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.

White… is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black… God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

On one of my last days at school, the headmaster said I would either end up in prison or become a millionaire. That was quite a startling prediction, but in some respects, he was right on both counts!

Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards – the things we live by and teach our children – are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.

There’s always an element of self delusion among people who believe they ought to be President. There’s an underestimation of your opponent and an overestimation of your own abilities. This is compatible with being rich and powerful, the idea that we were blessed by God because we deserve to be blessed.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

It doesn’t matter who likes you or doesn’t like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.

Searching for music is like searching for God. They’re very similar. There’s an effort to reclaim the unmentionable, the unsayable, the unseeable, the unspeakable, all those things, comes into being a composer and to writing music and to searching for notes and pieces of musical information that don’t exist.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory.

If I had any talent that God could give me, I would be a great diva.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.

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

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.

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

I believe that God breathed life into every person and that every person is made in the image of God and you have accept them as they are, on their journey. I’m not here to preach hate or push people down.
