God Quotes
-
Believing in God is a very intense inner struggle of mine. It's something I worry about a lot, but which I don't have the answer to.
Emily Watson
-
My friends, this is a wholly unprepared speech. I did not expect to be called upon to say a word when I came here. I supposed I was merely to do something towards raising a flag. I may, therefore, have said something indiscreet, but I have said nothing but what I am willing to live by, and, in the pleasure of Almighty God, die by.
Abraham Lincoln
-
But against this it is thus opposed: the Will of God is the Nature or the Essence of God, because for God the ""to be"" is not one thing, ""to will"" the other; and for that reason, just as there is one Essence of Three Persons, so also one Will. Therefore if God by nature is God, He is also by will God; and if the Word of God by nature is the Son of God, He is also by will the Son of God.
Peter Lombard
-
What I want to achieve, what I have been striving and pining for these thirty years, is self-realization, that is, to see God face to face.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
I'm not an ambitious person. I'm very content, and I have no pending dreams. God has given me so much, and if there's one thing I really want to do, it's to serve the people.
Chiranjeevi
-
No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.
David Edward Jenkins
-
If churches saw their mission in the same way, there is no telling what might happen. What if people were invited to come tell what they already know of God instead of to learn what they are supposed to believe? What if they were blessed for what they are doing in the world instead of chastened for not doing more at church? What if church felt more like a way station than a destination? What if the church’s job were to move people out the door instead of trying to keep them in, by convincing them that God needed them more in the world than in the church?
Barbara Brown Taylor
-
There is no good trying to be more spiritual than God. God never meant man to purely spiritual creature. That is why He uses material things like bread and wine to put the new life into us. We may think this rather crude and unspiritual. God does not: He invented eating. He likes matter. He invented it.
C. S. Lewis
-
What happened to me is I gained a little weight so I could be more accessible to people. They're not like, 'Oh my God, he's, like, a male model comedian; yuck, ugh.' It's like, 'Oh, he's a little squishy; He's like me. He's accessible.' And girls are like, 'Look how cuddly he is. I just want to cuddle up in his neck fat and go to sleep.'
Adam DeVine
-
See the hand of God in all events, and thereby become reconciled to His dispensations.
Adoniram Judson
-
God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Him. Beware of competing calls once the call of God grips you.
Oswald Chambers
-
Our gifts seem so small in comparison to God’s. But our efforts count, even though like Simeon we only stretch out our arms in the patience of faith so that we may receive the Holy Gift. Even though we only wait, poor and yearning in the darkness, in fervent longing for the proclamation, we are ready, and may help bring about the fullness of time.
Eberhard Arnold
