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

This thing comes to me, not by the hearing of the ear, but by my own personal experience: I know of a surety that Jesus manifests Himself unto His people as He doth not unto the world.

Act, and God will act.

Most people already know what they’re doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

Why 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?

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

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

There are many levels of Christianity. There are many notions about God. To believe that God is a person is just one of the notions of God that you can find in Christianity. So, we should not say that there is one Christianity. There are many Christianities.

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

I am just one of many thousands called to be an evangelist.

Do I live as carelessly and worldly as unbelievers while professing to be a follower of Jesus? If so, I am exposing Christianity to ridicule and leading people to speak evil of the holy name by which I am called.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.

As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of ‚easy believism.‘ There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.

I’m a strict, strict agnostic. It’s very different from a casual, ‚I don’t know.‘ It’s that you cannot present as knowledge something that is not knowledge. You can present it as faith, you can present it as belief, but you can’t present it as fact.

Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.

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

Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.

You 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.

I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I’m wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.

I don’t stand for the black man’s side, I don‘ t stand for the white man’s side. I stand for God’s side.

I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.

There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them.

I am a Christian and a Democrat, that’s all.

The Gospel has never changed.

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

Life isn’t fair, but God is.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

My 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.

Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

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.

‚You are no saint,‘ says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.

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

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don’t know.

Every day I pray about all I do.

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

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.

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

Sincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology – absolutely.

Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you’ve got all the answers, then don’t call what you do ‚faith.‘

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they’re not all growing in their faith, they’re not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.

Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

Every day is a gift from God. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

People love conspiracy theories.

You have to be tough and have a lot of faith.

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.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

I’m an idealist without illusions.

Early on in my life, I had a broken soul. I was abused by my father, abandoned by my mother and ended up in a destructive first marriage. By the time I was 23, I was broken in my soul. I didn’t know how to think right. I felt wrong about everything. But God stepped into my life, and I came out on the other side and didn’t even smell like smoke.

You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
