God Quotes
True praying has the largest results for good. Poor praying the least. We cannot do too much of real praying. We cannot do too little of the sham. If we would learn the wondrous power of prayer, we must not give a fragment here and there - A little talk with Jesus, as the tiny saintlets sing - but we must demand and hold with an iron grasp the best hours of the day for God and prayer, or there will be no praying worth the name.
Edward McKendree Bounds
When we discover the secret of being inwardly at worship while outwardly at work, we find that the soul's silence brings us to God and God to us. Silence takes us beyond the limits of consciousness and into the heart and mind and will of God.
J. Brent Bill
The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.
James Joyce
Pour not on the comforts you want, but upon the mercies you have. Look rather at God's ending in afflicting, than to the measure and degree of your affliction.
Christopher Love
Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God.
Oswald Chambers
If 'god' is a metaphysical term, then it cannot be even probable that a god exists. For to say that 'God exists' is to make a metaphysical utterance which cannot be either true or false. And by the same criterion, no sentence which purports to describe the nature of a transcendent god can possess any literal significance.
Sir Alfred Jules "Freddie" Ayer
The person who is living by grace sees this vast contrast between his own sins against God and the offenses of others against him. He forgives others because he himself has been so graciously forgiven. He realizes that, by receiving God’s forgiveness through Christ, he has forfeited the right to be offended when others hurt him.
Jerry Bridges
How many precious things do we not already possess which others have not - have hardly an idea of! Let us enjoy these, then, and bless God that we are permitted to enjoy them, rather than importune His goodness with vain longings for more.
Jane Welsh Carlyle
I, for my part, acknowledge another precept which says that man must deal the final blow to those whose downfall is destined by God.
Adolf Hitler
Ever since then I have believed that God is not only a gentleman and a sport; he is a Kentuckian too.
William Faulkner
From Thee, great God: we spring, to Thee we tend,Path, motive, guide, original, and end.
Samuel Johnson
For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself; which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
Saint Augustine
There is a rising generation in this country who do not know God because of a general decay of religion.
Arthur Middleton
The greater and more persistent your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive all that you ask.
Albertus Magnus
It's man's nature to abuse knowledge and power, be it in the realm of science, government, or Wall Street. Take God out of the picture, and you have real trouble.
Frank Peretti
Connection exists. There is immanence and transcendence, and everything beyond and in between. My tradition calls this connection God Herself.
T. Thorn Coyle
I decided to take God and organized religion seriously, and to reject the secular life which in my teens had looked attractive because it allowed me to act in any way that I wanted.
Luke Ford
No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.
Isaac Newton
