God Quotes
-
Man's abiding happiness is not in getting anything but in giving himself up to what is greater than himself, to ideas which are larger than his individual life, the idea of his country, of humanity, of God.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
The effect of our knowledge rather ought to be, first, to teach us reverence and fear; and, secondly, to induce us, under its guidance and teaching, to ask every good thing from God, and, when it is received, ascribe it to him. For how can the idea of God enter your mind without instantly giving rise to the thought, that since you are his workmanship, you are bound, by the very law of creation, to submit to his authority?-\-\that your life is due to him?-\-\that whatever you do ought to have reference to him.
John Calvin
-
The great god Pan is dead.
Plutarch
-
Global evangelism does not take place in a demilitarized zone but on the battleground of spiritual warfare. Satan, in vengeance and jealousy for that which belongs to God, is deceiving the nations and holding them in bondage to a lie.
Ed Stetzer

There is strife between God s ways and human ways; damned by you, we are absolved by God.

All things do go a-courting, In earth, or sea, or air, God hath made nothing single But thee in His world so fair.

The Bible is not a script for a funeral service, but it is the record of God always bringing life where we expected to find death. Everywhere it is the story of resurrection.
Eugene H. Peterson
-
I got a very strong sense from my mother, in particular, that we are all equal in the sight of God.
Johann Lamont
-
Seemeth it nothing to you, never to accuse, never to blame either God or Man? to wear ever the same countenance in going forth as in coming in? This was the secret of Socrates: yet he never said that he knew or taught anything... Who amongst you makes this his aim? Were it indeed so, you would gladly endure sickness, hunger, aye, death itself. (85).
Epictetus
-
Life's but a means unto an end, that end, Beginning, mean, and end to all things--God.
Philip James Bailey
-
All sins are committed in secrecy. The moment we realize that God witnesses even our thoughts, we shall be free.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
God is able to create particles of matter of several sizes and figures and perhaps of different densities and forces, and thereby to vary the laws of nature, and make worlds of several sorts in several parts of the Universe.
Isaac Newton

The will of God prevails.
Abraham Lincoln

Once man loses his faculty of indifference he becomes a potential murderer; once he transforms his idea into a god the consequences are incalculable. We kill only in the name of a god or of his counterfeits: the excesses provoked by the goddess Reason, by the concept of nation, class, or race are akin to those of the Inquisition or of the Reformation.
Emil Cioran
-
...for me the only way I can thank God for his ever-present creation is to offer him a new music impressed of a beauty which nobody had previously understood .... the music we play is one long prayer, a message coming from God
Albert Ayler

Every day is a gift from God. There's no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.
Joel Osteen
-
There is God, and it doesn't matter who you are or what you are doing, there is God in this world, and there's a lot of love for everyone, and it doesn't matter where you are from, the important thing for me when I read The Shack script - the thing that Jesus is, he is a friend.
Aviv Alush
