God Quotes
-
If God is your problem, only God is your solution.
Tony Evans -
When we commit ourselves to the pursuit of holiness, we need to ensure that our commitment is actually to God, not simply to a holy lifestyle or a set of moral values ... offer yourselves to God, and in doing that commit yourselves to the pursuit of holiness in order to please Him.
Jerry Bridges
-
Your thoughts of God are too human.
Martin Luther -
... the more one needs God the more perfect he is. To need God is nothing to be ashamed of but is perfection itself. It is the saddest thing in the world if a human being goes through life without discovering that he needs God!
Soren Kierkegaard -
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward -
Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
Nick Cave The Birthday Party -
God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I'm going to get persecuted, ya know?
Heidi Montag
-
If there is one single reason why good people turn evil, it is because they fail to recognize God’s ownership over their kingdom, their vocation, their resources, their abilities, and above all their lives.
Erwin W. Lutzer -
God does not give grace freely in the sense that He will demand no satisfaction, but He gave Christ to be the satisfaction for us.
Martin Luther -
The work that God does in us when we wait is usually more important than the thing for which we wait!
Erwin W. Lutzer -
Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be - you get a fresh start, your slate's wiped clean. Count yourself lucky - God holds nothing against you and you're holding nothing back from Him.
Eugene H. Peterson -
God is not the tribal deity of one group of “chosen” people. God is not for us and against all others. God is for us and for them, too. God loves everyone everywhere, no exceptions.

If God imagined you at birth, what makes you think He's stopped imagining you now.
Erwin McManus
-
We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.
Russell M. Nelson -
The Bible tells us, “Do not despise the day of small beginnings” (see Zech. 4:10). I believe that whatever it is God has entrusted into your hand—your family, your career, your ministry—don’t count it as insignificant and don’t approach it with a lack of vision.
Brian Houston -
This is not to deny that there are versions of theism that do conflict with evolutionary biology. Young Earth Creationism is an example; it claims that God created life on earth within the past 10,000 to 50,000 years. But other types of theism are different.
Elliott Sober -
Jesus did not have a value for prayer for prayer's sake. He had a value for the intimate communion between God and man.

Nikki Gil
-
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.
Soren Kierkegaard -
Accept your loneliness. It is one stage, and only one stage, on a journey that brings you to God. It will not always last. Offer up your loneliness to God, as the little boy offered to Jesus his five loaves and two fishes. God can transform it for the good of others. Above all, do something for somebody else!
Elisabeth Elliot -
For what accords better and more aptly with faith than to acknowledge ourselves divested of all virtue that we may be clothed by God, devoid of all goodness that we may be filled by him, the slaves of sin that he may give us freedom, blind that he may enlighten, lame that he may cure, and feeble that he may sustain us; to strip ourselves of all ground of glorying that he alone may shine forth glorious, and we be glorified in him?
John Calvin -
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle
