God Quotes
-
Instead of seeing all of this as God's extraordinary grace, we come to expect the comfort and joys that God gives us as the baseline, the measure of what we believe to be our due. When our comfort level drops below our expectations, we are shocked and angered, and even foolishly express our outrage to God Himself.
R. C. Sproul, Jr.
-
God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person.
Joan Jett
-
You must warn people not to make the intellect their God. The intellect knows methods but it seldom knows values, and they come from feeling. If one doesn't play a part in the creative whole, he is not worth being called human. He has betrayed his true purpose.
Albert Einstein
-
The atheist believes a world marked by so much injustice, innocent suffering, and cynicism of power cannot be the work of a good God.
Pope Benedict XVI
-
Comedy relieves you. A lot of times, we think we're the only people bothered by certain things. Then you hear a comic say, 'Don't you hate it when...' And it's, 'Oh, my God! Of course!'
Fred Willard
-
Without a doubt, God led me to your message because I had never been to your Web site before. Please forgive me for letting the highlights of your message speak through me to our ladies, without getting your permission. You were a blessing to them and to me.
J. M. Roberts
-
'Frankenstein' was all about the idea that, through electricity and the destruction of night, man creating light and darkness, we took on god-like powers and then abused them like gods, and we are only men. That's a story about man making a man in his own image. The inversion of natural order.
Benedict Cumberbatch
-
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
Oswald Chambers
-
It occurs to me to wonder: do I believe in any god, or even positively not believe, as James does? I believe in systems and methods. I believe in the beauties of philosophy and poetry. I believe that the work we do and leave behind us is our afterlife; and I believe that history lies, but sometimes so well that I can't bring myself to resent it. I believe that truth is beauty, but not, I'm afraid, the reverse. It doesn't seem sufficient to sustain one in life's rigorous moments. Perhaps I shall embrace Islam. Its standards for poetry seem very high.
Emma Bull
-
God never disappoints anyone who places his trust in Him.
Basilea Schlink
-
The priest is Christ's slave, and Christ himself took the form of a slave and became obedient to death. So the priest in serving human needs lives a Godward life, possessed by God and witnessing that only when lives are utterly possessed by God do they find their true freedom.
Arthur Middleton
-
Angels are innumerable heavenly beings - immortal and invincible creations of God. He is the Lord of the hosts of heaven.
David Jeremiah
-
Difficulty shows what men are. Therefore when a difficulty falls upon you, remember that God, like a trainer of wrestlers, has matched you with a rough young man. Why? So that you may become an Olympic conqueror; but it is not accomplished without sweat.
Epictetus
-
Sir, what can be said of these things? Is it the arm of the flesh that hath done these things? Is it the wisdom and counsel, or strength of man? It is the Lord only. God will curse that man and his house that dares to think otherwise. Sir, you see the work is done by a Divine leading. God gets into the hearts of men, and persuades them to come under you.
Oliver Cromwell
-
I believe God is a poet; every religion in our history was made of poems and songs, and not a few of them had books attached.
Luis Alberto Urrea
-
We have messed-up lives, but we’re good people and we have grace. And even though we don’t have to do good for God to love us, I want to do good for Him.
Lacey Mosley
-
Sometimes I see myself in the mirror, and it's 'Oh, God!' But the minute you stick out your butt a little bit and suck it in, you go from a 6 to a 10.
Cindy Margolis
-
Don't forget, God uses words to create the world. Words! Words are only hope.
Bruce Feiler
-
Latter-day Saints are not obedient because they are compelled to be obedient. They are obedient because they know certain spiritual truths and have decided, as an expression of their own individual agency, to obey the commandments of God. . . . We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see
Boyd K. Packer
-
Enter faith, and a whole new factor enters the equation. Words like “impossible” seem out of place. Despair and cynicism feel like insults to God. Hope grows, and love, and therefore motivation to care, to give, to act, to try, to dream, to risk.
Brian D. McLaren
-
Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes; that is, in our deepest reality.
C. S. Lewis
-
Use the noble gifts which God has given you!
Jane Welsh Carlyle
