God Quotes
-
God finds us in the holes we dig for ourselves. We see failures; He sees foundations.
Bob Goff
-
...knowing God is the condition for the sanctification of a human being by God's assistance and according to His intention. Wherever God is, there He is always creating... He wants to create a new human being. To need God is to become new. And to know God is the crucial thing.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
We are born to create, and we can't help it. Why is that? Because God, the great Creator, is in us.
Ernest Holmes
-
I used to think God wouldn’t talk to me, but now I know I’m just selective with what I choose to hear.
Bob Goff
-
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
-
I do not believe that God has imposed suffering upon anyone to punish them or to teach them a lesson.
Ernest Holmes
-
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
-
I believe in God.....I gain strength from God. I believe in Jehovah, God, very much.....I believe in God and love God.
Michael Jackson
-
It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
-
Expect much of God, and he will do much for you.
Bernard of Clairvaux
-
Religion supposed Heaven and Hell, the word of God, and sacraments, and twenty other circumstances which, taken seriously, are a wonderful check to wit and humour.
Jonathan Swift
-
I don’t think we should give up on ritual. I don’t think we should give up on any possible means of experiencing God.
Brian D. McLaren
-
The Word, then, the Christ, is the cause both of our ancient beginning, for lie was in God, and of our well-being. And now this same Word has appeared as man. He alone is both God and man, and the source of all our good things.
Tertullian
-
I am scared of my father to this day. My father walked in the room - and God knows I am telling the truth - I have fainted in his presence many times. I have fainted once to be honest. I have thrown up in his presence because when he comes in the room and this aura comes and my stomach starts hurting and I know I am in trouble.
Michael Jackson
-
Whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another. If that by which it is put in motion be itself put in motion, then this also must needs be put in motion by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover; seeing that subsequent movers move only inasmuch as they are put in motion by the first mover; as the staff moves only because it is put in motion by the hand. Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover, put in motion by no other; and this everyone understands to be God.
Thomas Aquinas
-
I am a gift of joy that God gives to a wonderful world.
Ernest Holmes
-
The forgiveness of God is gratuitous liberation from guilt. Paradoxically, the conviction of personal sinfulness becomes the occasion of encounter with the merciful love of the redeeming God. "There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner repenting..." (Luke 15:7). In his brokenness, the repentant prodigal knew an intimacy with his father that his sinless, self-righteous brother would never know.
Brennan Manning
