When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that He’s his savior – that’s good enough for me.

Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.

I’ve always been – you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I’m just being who God made me to be.

There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.

It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.

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

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.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

I’ve never dropped anyone I believed in.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false.

If you grow up in a very strong religion like Catholicism you certainly cultivate in yourself a certain taste for the intensity of ideas.

I do not believe any of the statistical claims that are made about public opinion. I don’t see why anybody does.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

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.‘

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.

Our faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

The word ‚Christianity‘ is already a misunderstanding – in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.

If there is no God, everything is permitted.

Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.

Hate has no place in the house of God.

Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature necessity, and can believe nothing else.

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

The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.

If you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.

I’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

I have always believed in God.

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it.

I have to be seen to be believed.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

I tell you the groans of the damned in hell are the deep bass of the universal anthem of praise that shall ascend to the throne of my God for ever and ever.

Time was when they that feared the Lord spake often to one another; I am afraid that now they more often speak one against another.

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

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

A lot of churches have not moved with the times.

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.

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

God spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.

When Christians say God has been talking to them about something, it simply means they have a strong inner conviction or feeling that God has made His will known to them.

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.

And if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

When your soul is resting, your emotions are okay, your mind is okay, and your will is at peace with God, not resisting what He’s doing.

In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

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.

Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.

I can’t prove it scientifically, that there’s a God, but I believe.

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

I have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.

Politeness is, you know, is a wonderful thing. Manners are in fact, really important thing. But remember, Jesus didn’t have many manners as we now know.

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.
