“God had one Son without sin, but He never had a son without trial.”

Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.

I thought when I became a Christian I had nothing to do but just to lay my oars in the bottom of the boat and float along. But I soon found that I would have to go against the current.

If you have so much business to attend to that you have no time to pray, depend upon it that you have more business on hand than God ever intended you should have.

I believe Satan exists for two reasons: first, the Bible says so, and second, I’ve done business with him.

If God has given you a message, go and give it to the people as God has given it to you. It is a stupid thing to try to be eloquent.

If you pray for bread and bring no basket to carry it, you prove the doubting spirit, which may be the only hindrance to the boon you ask.

Satan is willing to have us worship anything, however sacred – the Bible, the crucifix, the church – if only we do not worship God Himself.

We may not be able to do any great thing; but if each of us will do something, however small it may be, a good deal will be accomplised for God.

If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me.

If God is your partner, make your plans BIG!

The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.

It does not take long to tell where a man’s treasure is. In fifteen minutes’ conversation with most men, you can tell whether their treasures are on the earth or in Heaven.

There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.

If I walk with the world, I can’t walk with God.

The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church…is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.

I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

I wonder if we have a lot of sons running around saying, “I want a Dad.” But you won’t abide in anyone.

You hear people say it all the time, how life changes so drastically. But you can’t possibly grasp how beautiful that is until you have your child.

And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They’re quite aware of what they’re going through.

There’s always gonna be rock n’ roll bands, there’s always gonna be kids that love rock n’ roll records, and there will always be rock n’ roll.

Religion makes kind people say unkind things: “I must prove my faith, so mutilate the genitals of my children.” They wouldn’t do that if God didn’t tell them to do so.

No. No. I don’t listen to anyone except my … inner child anyway. If someone had said to me, Amy, lose a stone which they wouldn’t – I don’t think I would have listened anyway.

When you’re around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don’t have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.
