God Quotes
-
Since man created government to help secure and safeguard inalienable rights from God, it follows that man is superior to government and should remain master over it, not the other way around.
Ezra Taft Benson -
Purity doesn't happen by accident; it requires obedience to God.
Joshua Harris
-
I find no fault with the Constitution or laws of our country, they are good enough. It is the abuse of those laws which I despise, and which God, good men and angels abhor.
Brigham Young -
For when down on the knees The man (or god) stretches the arms In giving, It is no accident the hands Are curled like bowls or cups, For he offers self, yet Begs it back again.
Edith Tiempo -
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas -
That is what mature faith requires — not pride over how much one sees and understands, but humility, the feeling that one is still a child, certain of so little, still so dependent on God and others, with so much still to learn — including so much more to learn about humility.
Brian D. McLaren -
It seems disrespectful to me to see ladies in church in very short skirts or skimpy, sleeveless tops. I would imagine that it could be distracting to men who are trying to keep their minds on God.
Elisabeth Elliot -
No matter who you are,no matter what you do-do not be too big for GOD.
Benjamin Carson
-
God, guide and protect us. When we're wrong, please correct us.
Bob Marley -
Letting ourselves be loved by God is more important than loving God.
Brennan Manning -
Nothing can separate you from His love, absolutely nothing, neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature... We do not need to beg Him to bless us, He simply cannot help it. Therefore God is enough! God is enough for time, God is enough for eternity. God is enough!
Hannah Whitall Smith -
Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.
Mother Teresa -
It is bad to want something that not even God could attain, especially when the impossibility becomes obvious.
Ernest Sosa -
If there is a God what the hell is He for?
William Faulkner
-
The magnitude of the punishment matches the magnitude of the sin. Now a sin that is against God is infinite; the higher the person against whom it is committed, the graver the sin-it is more criminal to strike a head of state than a private citizen-and God is of infinite greatness. Therefore an infinite punishment is deserved for a sin committed against Him.
Thomas Aquinas -
God’s idea of a partnership places enormous responsibility on his image bearers and also means he wants us to participate in what he is doing here on earth and intends for us to do so, not as isolated individuals, but together.
Carolyn Custis James -
God does not work salvation for fictitious sinners. Be a sinner and sin vigorously... Do not for a moment imagine that this life is the abiding place of justice; sin must be committed.
Martin Luther -
We keep telling God our opinions; He keeps asking us about our hearts. We'll grow the most when we have the right conversations.
Bob Goff -
God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
Bernard of Clairvaux -
It was a place to bless God in and cease from vain words.
Elizabeth von Arnim
-
What is it to serve God and to do His will? Nothing else than to show mercy to our neighbor. For it is our own neighbor who needs our service; God in heaven needs it not.
Martin Luther -
There is no one anywhere as available to everyone everywhere as is God.
Eugenia Price -
God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- "severe mercies" at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
Elisabeth Elliot -
Sometimes I think we spend a lot of time fleeing from the devil, when we really need to stand our ground. The Bible doesn't teach us to flee from the devil; it teaches us to draw near to God, to resist the devil, so he will flee from you. We don't need to worry about running away from the devil and trying to hide from him. We simply need to focus on drawing near to God and his purpose for our lives. This is how we can best resist the devil. When he sees us drawing closer and closer to God, when he watches as our faith muscles grow bigger and stronger, he's forced to accept defeat.
