God Quotes
-
What men call accident is God's own part.
Philip James Bailey
-
Cherish your family connections. They are one of God's greatest ways of demonstrating his love and fellowship.
Norman Vincent Peale
-
You cannot play the hypocrite before God; and to obtain pardon you must cease to sin, as well as to be exercised by a spirit of repentance.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
Love is the most necessary of all virtues. Love in the person who preaches the word of God is like fire in a musket. If a person were to throw a bullet with his hands, he would hardly make a dent in anything; but if the person takes the same bullet and ignites some gunpowder behind it, it can kill. It is much the same with the word of God. If it is spoken by someone who is filled with the fire of charity – the fire of love of God and neighbor – it will work wonders.
Anthony Mary Claret
-
When I pray, I never pray for myself, always for others, or else I hold a silly, naive, or deadly serious dialogue with what is deepest inside me, which for the sake of convenience I call God. Praying to God for something for yourself strikes me as being too childish for words. To pray for another's well-being is something I find childish as well; one should only pray that another should have enough strength to shoulder his burden. If you do that, you lend him some of your own strength.
Etty Hillesum
-
Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God.
Oswald Chambers
-
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.
Alexander MacLaren
-
You’re like a priest who awakens one day and realizes that his god has been replaced by a cardboard cut-out, and he’s no longer able to ignore his own disbelief. And, like the priest, you’ve sacrificed all hope of a normal life on the altar of something you no longer believe in.
Charles Stross
-
Do we need more laws? God forbid! We need more righteousness, more freedom, and more godly men -- and fewer laws.
R.J. Rushdoony
-
I must honestly declare my conviction that, since the days of the Reformation, there never has been so much profession of religion without practice, so much talking about God without walking with Him, so much hearing God's words without doing them.
J. C. Ryle
-
The only two things that scare me are God and the IRS.
Dr. Dre
-
Sin hurts other people and grieves God, but it also corrodes us. Sin is a form of self-abuse.
Cornelius Plantinga
-
Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.
Joel Osteen
-
Being by his faith replaced afresh in paradise and created anew, he (the believer)does not need works for his justification, but that he may not be idle, but that he may exercise his own body and preserve it. His works are to be done freely, with the sole object of pleasing God.
Martin Luther
-
Think in the name of Almighty God. We must first have a worldwide awakening of the public conscience, a spiritual revival, a moral regeneration, before there can be permanent peace and real economic recovery. To this end we do not need new laws, but a new spirit; we do not need a change of government, but a change of the human heart. There can be no peace, there will be no recovery without it. Therefore, with a change of heart, let's all make a new start.
William J. H. Boetcker
