When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.

Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.

I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God’s bidding.

Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.

When you feel like it’s too hard to obey God, remember that He will never tell you to do something without giving you the grace, power and ability to do it.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

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.

Lord, help my poor soul.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.

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.

He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

Let God’s promises shine on your problems.

And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.

Glory be and praise to God. I didn’t do any of this. God did. I don’t have a recipe or a blueprint. I prayed for it, and my prayers are continuing to be answered.

When you make a mistake and the devil comes and tells you ‚You’re no good,‘ you don’t have to take on the guilt and condemnation he wants to put on you. No! You can immediately confess your mistake to God, thank Him for forgiving you and cleansing you with the blood of Jesus, and move forward in the victory of His grace and forgiveness.

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?

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

As we regularly spend time reading God’s Word and talking to Him in prayer, we put ourselves in position for Him to do things in our lives we could never do on our own.

Through the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.

When you face a ‚performance‘ that might provoke the ‚I’m scared‘ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‚Dancing with the Stars!‘

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.

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

I wouldn’t ever say if you’re having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

My message is that God is a good God.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.

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

Now I will say this to every sinner, though he should think himself to be the worst sinner who ever lived: cry to the Lord and seek Him while He may be found. A throne of grace is a place fitted for you. By simple faith, go to your Savior, for He is the throne of grace.

It’s so easy to settle for less than God’s best for us because we don’t always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God’s will.

Prayer is a confession of one’s own unworthiness and weakness.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

The faith that stands on authority is not faith.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

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.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

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.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

Faith is a state of openness or trust.

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.

For me, the real earth is that chosen part of the universe, still almost universally dispersed and in course of gradual segregation, but which is little by little taking on body and form in Christ.

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

Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.

God has entrusted me with myself.

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher,‘ ‚Prophet,‘ ‚Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

Not brute force but only persuasion and faith are the kings of this world.
