God Quotes
-
God cares about every area of our lives, and God wants us to ask for help.
Benjamin Carson
-
What is the most significant conversation you have every day?” People would respond piously, “Your conversation with God, of course.” “No,” Lewis would reply. “It’s the conversation you have with yourself before you speak to God, because in that conversation with yourself, you decide whether you are going to be honest and authentic with God, or whether you are going to meet God with a false face, a mask, an act, a pretense.
Brian D. McLaren
-
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
-
I am much more troubled by the claims we get in our office about what can only be described as a “Christian nationalism,” an effort by some in military circles to denigrate the service of those who are not Christian, or who are not even religious. There is a real difference in my view between God and country—Christianity has not cornered the market on faith. When we lapse into a sense that what we do is a holy enterprise and that our military policy represents God's will as well as that of the Pentagon.
Barry W. Lynn
-
Babies, babies, babies. Why did God make so many babies? But no, God didn't make them. Stupid people made them.
Margaret Mitchell
-
It is not consistent with truth that a man should sacrifice half of his stomach only to God-that he should be sober in drinking, but intemperate in eating. Your belly is your God, your liver is your temple, your paunch is your altar, the cook is your priest, and the fat steam is your Holy Spirit; the seasonings and the sauces are your chrisms, and your belchings are your prophesizing...such a grossly- feeding Christian is akin to lions and wolves rather than God. Our Lord Jesus called Himself Truth and not habit.
Tertullian
-
I'm not praying for God to save me from cancer. I'm not. God will enlighten me when the time comes. And if I've done the right thing, I will be enlightened. And if I believe, I'll be saved. And that's all he promises me.
Elizabeth Edwards
-
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
-
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa
-
Those who have failed miserably are often the first to see God's formula for success.
Erwin W. Lutzer
-
Heart of mine has been shattered in a million pieces—but even during the worst of times, I had you. One of God’s tender mercies. Love, Phoenix.
Brenda Novak
-
Faith is not a refuge from reality. It is a demand that we face reality ... The true subject matter of religion is not our own little souls, but the Eternal God and His whole mysterious purpose, and our solemn responsibility to Him.
Evelyn Underhill
-
Religion is not simply a theory, it is a higher life, of which morality is an integral part - a life devoted to the worship of the good and the true, for God, the absolute, is the supreme source of all perfection" ("La religion n'et pas une smple théorie, elle est une vie supérieure, dont la moralité fait partie intégrante - une vie vouée au culte du bien et du vrai, car Dieu, l'absolu est la source de toute perfection", Fr.)
African Spir
-
Within evangelicalism is a distressing drift toward accepting a Christianity that does not demand a life-changing walk with God. Many evangelicals (today) do not realize that the church has always been an island of righteousness in a sea of paganism, but as a result they turned the world upside-down.
Erwin W. Lutzer
-
If I’m wrong and there is a God, I like to think that the fact I noticed some of his best work while the rest blundered about blind and deaf to it would hold me in good stead.
Nick Baker
-
Discipline, for the Christian, begins with the body. We have only one. It is this body that is the primary material given to us for sacrifice. We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
We should know and celebrate God with our whole person. While too many Christians neglect to serve God with the mind, others cultivate only their minds and neglect the emotional aspects of worship.
Craig S. Keener
-
God does not use extraordinary striving. He uses extraordinary availability to reach the world with the message of his Kingdom.
Ed Stetzer
