Raju Hirani films are filled with simplicity and goodness. I really love such films.

I thank God who slowly dressed me in a heavy skin, otherwise I would now be dead.

To doubt God is to doubt one’s own conscience, and in consequence it would be to doubt everything.

As God has not made anything useless in this world, as all beings fulfill obligations or a role in the sublime drama of Creation, I cannot exempt from this duty, and small though it be, I too have a mission to fill, as for example: alleviating the sufferings of my fellowmen.

God is bigger than people think.

God put Santa Claus on earth to remind us that Christmas is ‘sposed to be a happy time.

The parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptical, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists.

God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.

When God shuts a door, He opens a window.

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.

God wears white flannels.

God, my brain really goes to mush when I’m pregnant.

Ask God for forgiveness, and leave your regrets in the past!

Music is the language of the gods.

God has always given me the strength to say what is right.

I had the intention of becoming a theologian…but now I see how God is, by my endeavors, also glorified in astronomy, for ‘the heavens declare the glory of God.

In places in the world where we don’t speak the same language, or even understand that we pray to the same God, we dance to the same beat, that is the ONE.

There are moments when I can’t believe I’m as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did 10 years ago. I don’t think, Oh God, I’m missing something.

I know that I have a voice and can use it for good or bad. It’s a gift from God.

God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of the cross when I walk out onto the field. I feel I would be betraying Him if I didn’t.

In the end, it is about whether God wants us to be in the final, but I know that is what God wants. This time we will not need the Hand of God, because it is the will of God.

I have two God-given talents: I can play football and I can make people laugh.

Even if there was a hand, it was the hand of God.

It was scored a little bit with the head of Diego and a little with the hand of God.

Some say Google is God. Others say Google is Satan. But if they think Google is too powerful, remember that with search engines unlike other companies, all it takes is a single click to go to another search engine.

I’ve been a Christian for a long time. I go to church and I love God.

Michael Jordan is God disguised as a basketball player.

I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.

God has a plan and God is in control of everything.

No civilization is complete which does not include the dumb and defenseless of God’s creatures within the sphere of charity and mercy.

In times of trial, we must cling to our faith and trust in God.

I am hell-bent for the South Pole — God willing and crevasses permitting.

We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.

God is known by nature in his works, and by doctrine in his revealed word.

All my life I thank God. My family was very religious.

Libraries can take the place of God.

When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. In fact, we may even be reckless, insofar as our part in the production is concerned. This confidence, this sureness of action, is both contagious and an aid to the perfect action. The rest is in the hands of God – and this is the same God, gentlemen, who has won all His battles up to now

Love is the only future God offers.

Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.

The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.

So the baby was carried in a small deal box, under an ancient woman’s shawl, to the churchyard that night, and buried by lantern-light, at the cost of a shilling and a pint of beer to the sexton, in that shabby corner of God’s allotment where He lets the nettles grow, and where all unbaptized infants, notorious drunkards, suicides, and others of the conjecturally damned are laid

I swear I walk with God, but the devil keeps following.

People congratulate me. I just tell them God is good.

Do what you really want to do. That’s why God put you on this earth.

I would just turn into a giant pair of lips. “Oh God! There he is! It’s Lip-Man!

Danger past, God is forgotten

An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with.

Light, God’s eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building

If diversity is O.K. for God, it ought to be O.K. for Republicans.

I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I’m growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things – being tenacious about it.

In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican, with God as my witness, not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That’s a good thing.

We never know who they are that God will draw, and have nothing to do with it. Our duty is to invite all, and leave it to God to choose the vessels of mercy.

Make it a part of every day’s business to read and meditate on some portion of God’s Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.

That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.

If you and sin are friends, you and God are not yet reconciled.

Am I honest? Am I sincere? Do I really desire first the praise of God?

The work of the preacher resembles that of the sower. Like the sower, the preacher must sow good seed, the Word of God.

I believe it to be clear evidence of the Spirit’s presence when the Word of God is really precious to a person’s soul.

My God, thank you. Thank you very much. I’m almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the twenty five years that I’ve spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute of it.

For our sin God had visited our bodies with the gruesome ignominy of rot and decay, there was no indignity in the same body’s receiving

Never be ashamed of letting men see that you want to go to heaven. Do not think it a disgrace to show that you are a servant of God. Never be afraid of doing what is right.

The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding – the bright hope of good things to come – the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us – the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen – these are true gold, and lasting riches.

Believe me, you cannot stand still in your souls. Habits of good or evil are daily strengthening in your hearts. Every day you are either getting nearer to God, or further off.

Never make an intimate friend of anyone who is not a friend of God.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

To say that reunion with Rome would be an insult to our martyred Reformers is a very light thing; it is far more than this: it would be sin and an offense against God!

Ah, reader! I would the gods had made thee rhythmical, that thou mightest comprehend the thousandth part of my labours in the evasion of cacophony

Nothing whatever, whether great or small, can happen to a believer, without God’s ordering and permission. There is no such thing as “chance,” “luck” or “accident” in the Christian’s journey through this world. All is arranged and appointed by God. And all things are “working together” for the believer’s good.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.

The children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.

God does not look at riches, titles, education, or beauty. There is only one thing that God does look at, and that is the soul.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

I believe it to be clear evidence of the Spirit’s presence when the Word of God is really precious to a person’s soul.

God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.

No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Health is a good thing; but sickness is far better, if it leads us to God.

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.

The heart that has really tasted the grace of Christ, will instinctively hate sin.

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.

God knew what we were before conversion – wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion – weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just; a God who is all love, but not holy; a God who as a heaven for every body, but a hell for none; a God who can allow good and bad to be side by side in time, but will make no distinction between good and broad in eternity. Such a God is an idol of your own, as truly an idol as any snake or crocodile in an Egyptian temple. The hands of your own fancy and sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible, and beside the God of the Bible there is no God at all.

Our dourest parsons, who followed the nonconformist fashion of long extemporary prayers, always seemed to me to be bent on bullying God.

God is most angry when he shows no anger. God keep us from this mercy. This kind of mercy is worse than all other kind of misery.

Pirates do not use to set upon poor empty vessels; and beggars need not fear the thief. Those that have most of God, and are most rich in grace – shall be most assaulted by Satan, who is the greatest and craftiest pirate in the world

What is honor, and riches, and the favor of creatures – so long as I lack the favor of God, the pardon of my sins, a saving interest in Christ, and the hope of glory! O Lord, give me these, or I die! Give me these, or else I shall eternally die!

But after eating his one-thousandth sinner, Bob became prideful of his accomplishments, and that angered God.”
“Why would that anger God?”
“This was the Old Testament. God got pissed off a lot. Didn’t you ever read Job?

There is no little sin, because no little God to sin against

Ah, believer, it is only Heaven that is above all winds, storms, and tempests; God did not cast man out of Paradise that he might find another paradise in this world

God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.

The only ground of God’s love is his love

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb

Mercy is God’s Alpha, justice is His Omega

Those years, months, weeks, days, and hours, that are not filled up with God, with Christ, with grace, and with duty, will certainly be filled up with vanity and folly. The neglect of one day, of one duty, of one hour, would undo us, if we had not an Advocate with the Father

A man’s most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions

Every thing that a man leans upon but God, will be a dart that will certainly pierce his heart through and through. He who leans only upon Christ, lives the highest, choicest, safest, and sweetest life

He that puts on a religious habit abroad to gain himself a great name among men, and at the same time lives like an atheist at home, shall at the last be uncovered by God and presented before all the world for a most outrageous hypocrite

Though our private desires are ever so confused, though our private requests are ever so broken, and though our private groanings are ever so hidden from men, yet God eyes them, records them, and puts them upon the file of heaven, and will one day crown them with glorious answers and returns

Preach the gospel to yourself, because as you consider who you are in light of God’s perfect goodness, holiness and peace, you must soften toward others

The best and sweetest flowers of paradise God gives to His people when they are upon their knees. Prayer is the gate of heaven.

God is as just as he is merciful.

A Christian will part with anything rather than his hope; he knows that hope will keep the heart both from aching and breaking, from fainting and sinking; he knows that hope is a beam of God, a spark of glory, and that nothing shall extinguish it till the soul be filled with glory

God sees us in secret, therefore, let, us seek his face in secret. Though heaven be God’s palace, yet it is not his prison

If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy

The sovereignty of God is that golden sceptre in his hand by which he will make all bow, either by his word or by his works, by his mercies or by his judgements

God hath in Himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you

God looks not at the oratory of your prayers, how elegant they may be; nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they may be; nor at the arithmetic of your prayers, how many they may be; not at logic of your prayers, how methodical they may be; but the sincerity of them he looks at

Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls

We don’t know the Devil’s side of the story, because God wrote all the books.

I have seen the hippopotamus, both asleep and awake; and I can assure you that, awake or asleep, he is the ugliest of the works of God

We have had to learn that history is neither a God nor a redeemer.

To sum up the whole, we should say that the aim of the Platonic philosophy was to exalt man into a god

Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods

And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?

Now it seems that everything in the world stems from sources other than God, since the products of nature have their source in nature; deliberate effects can be traced back to human reason or will as their source. There is no need then to assume that God exists.

Gods are called many by the error of some who worshipped many deities, thinking as they did the planets and other stars were gods, and also the separate parts of the world

The apostles and their successors are God’s vicars in governing the Church which is built on faith and the sacraments of faith. Wherefore, just as they may not institute another Church, so neither may they deliver another faith, nor institute other sacraments

Anger and the like are attributed to God on account of a similitude of effect. Thus, because to punish is properly the act of an angry man, God’s punishment is metaphorically spoken of as His anger

Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not

God is never angry for His sake, only for ours

It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause of its necessity outside of itself but is the cause of necessity in other things. And all people call this thing God

The laws of God, the laws of man,
He may keep that will and can;
Now I: let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me.

We ought to cherish the body. Our body’s substance is not from an evil principle, as the Manicheans imagine, but from God. And therefore, we ought to cherish the body by the friendship of love, by which we love God

There would not be a perfect likeness of God in the universe if all things were of one grade of being

To be united to God in unity of person was not fitting to human flesh, according to its natural endowments, since it was above his dignity; nevertheless, it was fitting that God, by reason of his infinite goodness, should unite it to himself for human salvation

The image of God always abides in the soul, whether this image be obsolete and clouded over as to amount to almost nothing; or whether it be obscured or disfigured, as is the case with sinners; or whether it be clear and beautiful as is the case with the just.

When the devil is called the god of this world, it is not because he made it, but because we serve him with our worldliness

Godhead here in hiding, whom I adore Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more, See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

Whenever God wakes in us, our thinking becomes clear – nothing is missing

First, I say that he draws near to those who make peace with him. For God is the One who brings about peace; and where else should peace dwell than in peace?

For although the will cannot be inwardly moved by any creature, yet it can be moved inwardly by God.

It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers

Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give us an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give us an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ our Lord

God destines us for an end beyond the grasp of reason

Now the maximum in any genus is the cause of all in that genus; as fire, which is the maximum heat, is the cause of all hot things. Therefore there must also be something which is to all beings the cause of their being, goodness, and every other perfection; and this we call God

God himself would not permit evil in this world if good did not come of it for the benefit and harmony of the universe

Reason in man is rather like God in the world

One will observe that all things are arranged according to their degrees of beauty and excellence, and that the nearer they are to God, the more beautiful and better they are

Honor is due to God and to persons of great excellence as a sign of attestation of excellence already existing; not that honor makes them excellent

That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell

We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us; God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides

Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely

Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship

What is here a right towards men, is a duty towards the Creator.

And, what is worse, the reader often shares the writer’s prejudices, and is far too well pleased with his conclusions to examine either his premises or his reasoning. Stand on a barrel in the streets of Bagdad, and say in a loud voice, ‘Twice two is four, and ginger is hot in the mouth, therefore Mohammed is the prophet of God’, and your logic will probably escape criticism; or, if anyone should by chance criticise it, you could easily silence him by calling him a Christian dog.

And naked to the hangman’s noose
The morning clocks will ring
A neck God made for other use
Than strangling in a string.

We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.

Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind, and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.

Resistance to tyranny is service to God.

The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded.

If we can find God only as he is revealed in nature we have no moral God.
