Religious Quotations | Page 3

The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.

The idea of America's religious groups fighting over the limited public money to be made available takes us down the road towards the kind of sectarian competition that has torn so many nations apart, and which our separation of church and state has spared us.

From the prophets' dreams of the time when nations would beat their swords into plowshares to today's aspirations of a nuclear-weapons-free world, we have sought to avoid armed conflict and not yield to despair in the search for universal peace. The nuclear threats from Iran, North Korea, and terrorists can only be overcome through international cooperation. We call upon Congressional leaders and those worldwide to join together to ensure the fulfillment of these long-overdue initiatives and the achievement of a safer future without nuclear weapons.

Walking in humility isn't focusing on what we are NOT; rather, it's declaring what God is.

It is the Spirit of Christ in us that will draw satan's fire. The people of the world will not much care what we believe and they will stare vacantly at our religious forms, but there is one thing they will never forgive us-the presence of God's Spirit in our hearts. They may not know the cause of that strange feeling of antagonism which rises within them, but it will be nonetheless real and dangerous. satan will never cease to make war on the Man-child, and the soul in which dwells the Spirit of Christ will continue to be the target for his attacks.

Listen to no man who has not listened to God.

To truly know God we must long for Him without any other motive than reaching God Himself.

No one need fear to listen to the voice of God unless he has already made up his mind to resist it.

Be thankful, but be careful that you don't become so enamored of God's good gifts that you fail to worship the giver.

If you want to be holy then you must give time to God and not just intend to.
