God Quotes
-
'You do your best, we do the rest.' That fit the way I felt about God. I was going to give God my best and then it was up to God to do the rest.
Ben Carson
-
Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a shovel. By virtue of this curious loophole in the rules, any clodhopper may say: Let there be a tree-and there will be one.
Aldo Leopold

Between 'there is a God' and 'there is no God' lies a whole vast tract, which the really wise man crosses with great effort.

Anton Chekhov

Martin Luther
-
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
-
God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Through the death of Christ on the cross making atonement for sin, we get a perfect standing before God. That is justification, and it puts us, in God's sight, back in Eden before sin entered. God looks upon us and treats us as if we had never sinned.
A. C. Dixon
