A lot of people think Christianity is about always being perfect. It's actually the opposite of that. It's realizing that we're all humans, and that's why God sent his Son to this earth - to save people.
The priesthood of God is a shield. It is a shield against the evils of the world. That shield needs to be kept clean; otherwise, our vision of our purpose and the dangers around us will be limited.
Oh my God, there are so many songs I wish I had written. 'Waters of March,' I wish I had written 'My Baby Just Cares for Me,' I wish I had written 'This Will Be Our Year,' I mean, there's millions of them. 'Wouldn't It Be Nice?'
I think in church you're raised like God is God and you are here.
It's just so fragile. The growing sense of 'Oh, God, what am I doing? Am I any good? Will I ever work again?' All those questions of self doubt, they do creep in.
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
What you believe about God has the greatest potential for good or harm in your life.
God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another.
God knows I gave my best in baseball at all times and no man on earth can truthfully judge me otherwise.
In a civilized society, all crimes are likely to be sins, but most sins are not and ought not to be treated as crimes. Man's ultimate responsibility is to God alone.
In the West, people don't have any real problems. It's all based on bad conscience, a very Christian notion. I don't have any bad conscience. If there's a God that created us, if I am bad, it's his fault.
Make your creed simply and broadly out of the revelation of God, and you will keep it to the end.
From George Washington to George W. Bush, presidents have invoked God's name in the performance of their official duties.
God, for example, appealed to me as a beardless man wearing a quilted silk cap; holiness was something burning, forbidding, something connected with fire while a day had the form of an oblong box.
We show deference to the civil authorities when they respect the divine origin of their power and when they serve the people with objective reference to the law of God.
Every man thinks god is on his side.
Whenever I have asked something from God and worked hard for it, I have always got it, be it my Indian citizenship or my weight loss.
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
My dear child, you must believe in God despite what the clergy tells you.
Thank God for YouTube. Every Thanksgiving, I'm bombarded with 'Turkey Lurkey Time.'
I don't think Jesus was an exclusivist. He said, and we believe, that He is the unique representation of God in the world. But that doesn't mean this is the only way God can work.
As a surgeon you have to have a controlled arrogance. If it's uncontrolled, you kill people, but you have to be pretty arrogant to saw through a person's chest, take out their heart and believe you can fix it. Then, when you succeed and the patient survives, you pray, because it's only by the grace of God that you get there.
Disobedience is essentially a prideful power struggle against someone in authority over us. It can be a parent, a priesthood leader, a teacher, or ultimately God. A proud person hates the fact that someone is above him. He thinks this lowers his position.
I hope in God, I pray on, and look yet for the answer. They are not converted yet, but they will be.
On Sunday morning, I'm not nervous... I can't wait to tell what God wants me to say.
There were all us baby boomers who had a grammar school education, started to learn, then went on the pill, the whole thing, and so there are today a lot more women writers, editors, producers, and so a lot more women's stories. God, the BBC's practically run by women.
Throughout history no one has suffered more than God. He has suffered because his own children fell away from him. Ever since the Fall, God has been working tirelessly for the restoration of mankind. People do not know this brokenhearted aspect of God.
All my vocal coaches have been pretty great. Thank God.
God does not rule in nations, but He is mindful of them. He can and does place people in positions of influence who want what is best for the people and who trust in the Lord.
I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.
Until we meet again, may God bless you as he has blessed me.
It's a good thing that when God created the rainbow he didn't consult a decorator or he would still be picking colors.
I see film roles as lovely presents that come along now and again. I feel really lucky and say thank you very much. And if they fly me to L.A., I think, 'God, I must really be doing well.' I've worked with De Niro and Brando and Pacino, and that's made me feel very lucky. But the films have never meant a lot to me.
No attribute of God is more dreadful to sinners than His holiness.
My hope is that this life is not all there is. This life is like preparation for what is coming next, and what is coming next is something so glorious that the Bible says minds can't conceive it, eye has never seen, your imagination could never even enter into all that God is preparing for those who love him.
My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There's no way I can control him. I wouldn't stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.
