Every day, the humane societies execute thousands of dogs who tried all their lives to do their very best by their owners. These dogs are killed not because they are bad but because they are inconvenient. So as we need God more than he needs us, dogs need us more than we need them, and they know it.

A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.

I wanna do a God album, a positive album so the kids and everybody will understand what's going on.

God's grace is amazing! We're saved by grace - God's undeserved favor - and we live by grace, which is also God's power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it's all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely.

However, as the Eastern churches have always maintained, through Christ creation is intended eventually to share in the life of God, the life of divine nature.

One of the greatest gifts God ever gave to humanity was that of liberty. We love freedom and bloom under it. We cannot and should not try to force people to live by a certain religious code. To do so negates our free will.

I hope and trust the infinite, the eternal, and merciful and loving God. I worship Him and feel no guilt in my heart before him for what I am going to do.

Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

We don't realize how much the NFL is quietly drifting towards flag football. During the '80s, part of the defense's goal was to put the fear of God into offensive players... that's fading away.

God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love.

I know I didn't deserve this, but God has given me this baseball ability. So I've got to do whatever I can to honor him.

We often compare the experience of writing a book to that of playing God. It is up to us, and only us, to determine what happens to the people we invent. It is for us alone to determine what is good and bad, just and unjust, appropriate and inappropriate for the worlds we create. I love that about writing books.

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?

I thank God, Jesus, and my Grandmother for being able to support myself and my family.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.

I do not know who there is among us that can claim to know God's purpose and God's intent.

I believe that God has blessed me in immeasurable ways so that I can, in return, bless and help others.

We esteem, honor, and love the apostles more than the other saints, because they served God more faithfully and because they loved Him more perfectly.

I gain strength from postive thought and from the daily conversation with God.

There is something powerful about singing to God as an act of worship, but it is time to reframe our perspective and our language to genuinely encompass all of life as worship.
