We must show our Christian colors if we are to be true to Jesus Christ.

It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.

You may make some mistakes – but that doesn’t make you a sinner. You’ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you.

Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it’s an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re facing.

The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

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.

Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

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.

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.

Conversion is a change of masters. Will we not do as much for our new master, the Lord Jesus, as we did once for our old tyrant lusts?

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

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society.

Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.

I believe that a government has only one religion – India first. A government has only one holy book – our Constitution. A government has only one kind of devotion – towards nation.

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.

Every man who attacks my belief, diminishes in some degree my confidence in it, and therefore makes me uneasy; and I am angry with him who makes me uneasy.

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

Our country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.

God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!

The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.

I say something, and then it usually happens. Maybe not on schedule, but it usually happens.

‚They‘ are the people that don’t believe in you, that say that you won’t succeed. We stay away from ‚They.‘

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don’t let yourself believe it will happen to you.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

Cast away your sloth, your lethargy, your coldness, or whatever interferes with your chaste and pure love for Christ, your soul’s husband. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of all your soul’s range of delight.

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

The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.

I don’t believe in icons.

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

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

I did study religion for a little while. I studied the Torah and the Holy Koran, Helios Biblos, which is considered by most people to be the Holy Bible. I just wanted to know, even with Buddhism and the Dalai Llama.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.

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.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Jesus didn’t die for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not.

The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.

Freedom does not die from frontal attack. It dies because men in power no longer believe in a system based upon liberty.

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect – if you’re a moderate on abortion, if you’re a moderate on gun control, or if you’re a moderate in your religious faith – it doesn’t evolve into a crusade where you’re either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.

The cause of my life has been to oppose superstition. It’s a battle you can’t hope to win – it’s a battle that’s going to go on forever. It’s part of the human condition.

Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, ‚Be still, and know that I am God.‘ But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don’t need to carry it around with you after you’ve crossed the river.

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

Don’t let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

So you cannot, as a Christian, walk away from Africa.

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

The most effective prayers are usually the simple prayers.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

Fear clogs; faith liberates.

Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I’ll forgive Thy great big joke on me.
