Ed Stetzer -
Dear God, I've done so many crazy hair colors and outfits and makeup looks where I look back and it's like, What the hell was I doing? You can't be afraid to make mistakes, you have to take risks. We all have those moments we look back on and wish weren't captured on film, but we're not alone in that.
Evan Rachel Wood
-
If there is a God what the hell is He for?

Brian D. McLaren -
We must not think that God takes no notice of us, when He does not answer our wishes: for He has a right to distinguish what we actually need.
John Calvin -
God isn't afraid of our doubts; He's way more concerned when we fake it.
Bob Goff
-
Worship is not an external activity precipitated by the right environment. To worship in spirit is to draw near to God with an undivided heart. We must come in full agreement without hiding anything or disregarding His will.
Erwin W. Lutzer -
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas -
Let us be ready and willing to follow our file leaders, and to sustain them. ... You will always be blessed and benefitted in following the advice and counsel of those whom God has chosen to preside over the Church. By honoring the man God has chosen, God will honor and bless you; and as you individually do your duty, you will grow and increase in the light and inspiration of the Spirit of God. As we grow and increase individually, so will the Church grow and increase.
Heber J. Grant -
The question is not whether you ever gave yourself to God, but whether you are His now.
Elizabeth Prentiss -
Grace stands in direct opposition to any supposed worthiness on our part. To say it another way: Grace and works are mutually exclusive. As Paul said in Romans 11:6, "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." Our relationship with God is based on either works or grace. There is never a works-plus-grace relationship with Him.
Jerry Bridges -
First, I say that he draws near to those who make peace with him. For God is the One who brings about peace; and where else should peace dwell than in peace?
Thomas Aquinas
-
Because the divine goodness could not be adequately represented by one creature alone, God produced many and diverse creatures, that what was wanting in one in the representation of the divine goodness might be supplied by another. For goodness, which in God is simple and uniform, in creatures is manifold and divided. Thus the whole universe together participates in the divine goodness more perfectly and represents it better than any single creature.
Thomas Aquinas -
All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body nature is, and God the soul.

Dolly Parton -
Jesus did not have a value for prayer for prayer's sake. He had a value for the intimate communion between God and man.
Erwin McManus -
To love another person is to help them love God.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
It is not solely or chiefly in virtue of the divine image that man effectively resembles God, but in virtue of his consciousness of being an image and the movement whereby the soul, passing in a way through itself, avails itself of the factual resemblance in order to attain to God.
Etienne Gilson -
When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.
Mother Teresa -
The Declaration of Independence was to set forth the moral justification of a rebellion against a long-recognized political tradition - the divine right of kings. At issue was the fundamental question of whether men's rights were God-given or whether these rights were to be dispensed by governments to their subjects. This document proclaimed that all men have certain inalienable rights. In other words, these rights came from God.
Ezra Taft Benson -
God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas
