“A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.”

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.

We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished.

God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

When Satan tells me I am a sinner he comforts me immeasurably, since Christ died for sinners.

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

Lord, grant that anger or other bitterness does not reign over us, but that your grace, genuine kindness, loyalty, and every kind of friendliness, generosity, and gentleness may reign in us. Amen

I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.

God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.

Whatever you love most, that is your god.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

A gospel that doesn’t deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.

The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man was the idea that somehow he could make himself good enough to deserve to live with an all-holy God.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.

I’m going to fight for human rights, whether I do it silently behind the scenes or vocally so that I get locked up. I can’t just sit back; it’s not in my nature. I can’t sit back and blindly ignore it, and I won’t.

Too much time is wasted fighting one self and life itself. Peace and fulfilment emerge the moment you embrace both.

Let me win? That doesn’t exist in my house. No one lets anyone win. Fight to the death.

I sometimes just don’t like to see the Ultimate Fighting. I just find it, as a martial artist, I just find it too violent.

I will fight for oil, coal and natural gas.

I want to be blunt: We should not be fighting about equal pay for equal work, and access to birth control, in 2012. These issues were resolved years ago – until the Republicans brought them back.

Any society begins by realizing that together, by helping each other, you can survive better than if you fight each other and compete with each other.
