Union of religious sentiments begets a surprising confidence.
James MadisonI’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Joyce MeyerIf 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.
Brian EnoWhen I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, ‚What sign do I want to give to God?‘ That question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear.
Russell M. NelsonA faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God – more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.
Russell M. NelsonI am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.
Paulo CoelhoLets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham LincolnHe that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWhat really matters is how God sees me. He isn’t concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man’s soul.
Billy GrahamI 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.
Ronald ReaganI pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.
Dan QuayleSome people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
C. S. LewisSometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.
Joel OsteenThe Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
Charles SpurgeonNonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.
Mahatma GandhiEvery person who confesses that Christ Jesus is Lord, repents of their sin and gives their heart to God is a child of God and belongs to Him. And in Christ, we are made right with God, we are His righteousness, and we have the power of Christ in us to live right.
Joyce MeyerIf in prayer I come before a throne of grace, the faults of my prayer will be overlooked.
Charles SpurgeonToo many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.
Joyce MeyerWe all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That’s why we have the gift of faith.
Joyce MeyerThe history of the kingdom of God is, directly, one of a reunion. The total divine milieu is formed by the incorporation of every elected spirit in Jesus Christ.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWhen 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.
Pope FrancisMan gives you the award but God gives you the reward.
Denzel WashingtonYou’ll see it when you believe it.
Wayne DyerMake sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don’t be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.
Billy GrahamWe have not yet reached the goal but… we shall soon, with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty shall be banished from this nation.
Herbert HooverGod has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.
Joel OsteenLord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.
Charles SpurgeonAre creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.
Mahatma GandhiI doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.
Russell M. NelsonGod tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.
Muhammad AliWhy is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days?
Joyce MeyerIf I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.
Joan of ArcRefuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude.
Joyce MeyerBe a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.
Martin LutherI am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.
George WashingtonI deal with more practical issues of the Bible.
Joel OsteenIn the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.
Isaac NewtonI had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.
Harry S. TrumanIf God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.
Joyce MeyerNon-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
Mahatma GandhiWe’re not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.
Joyce MeyerI’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.
Joyce MeyerIt’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
Muhammad AliIn the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.
Benjamin FranklinGod is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we’ve done or we’re about to do. At times like this, it’s wise to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions.
Joyce MeyerOnly God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.
Billy GrahamThe most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.
Aldous HuxleyI would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.
Friedrich NietzscheCertain though I am – and ever more certain – that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinMy father always taught me that when you help other people, then God will give you double. And that’s what has really happened to me. When I have helped other people who are in need, God has helped me more.
Cristiano RonaldoI do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.
J. ColeFor 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.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinYou know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.
Joyce MeyerI never saw a contradiction between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extraordinary figure, Jesus Christ.
Fidel CastroGod gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Franz KafkaChoosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.
Joyce MeyerI am not going to Heaven because I have preached to great crowds or read the Bible many times. I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‚Lord, remember me.‘
Billy GrahamNo, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.
Paulo CoelhoReligious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.
Ruth Bader GinsburgWhen 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.
Joyce Meyer
