"The church is not to be judged by how useful we are as a 'supportive institution' and our clergy as members of a 'helping profession'. The church has its own reason for being, hid within its own mandate and not found in the world. We are not chartered by the Emperor."
Stanley Hauerwas
"If I have to die either for religion or atheism I would prefer atheism, since my conscience will respect my rational decision."

"To find solace in the wrong area as it seems to be at first is to seek God for direction."

"When the resurrection sings itself in the robin's glad song, and bursting buds defy the death grip of winter, and you walk upon the yielding earth near my grave...Remember that my soul is not there, but rather it is absent from the body and present with the Lord."
Carl Burnam
"I find rest for my soul in arms of the Saviour."

"There is legitimate pleasure, which is not wrong, but we are not to become so preoccupied with its activities that it takes the place of God."
Billy Graham
"If your heart is not attuned to God, it will become a catch basin for every device of the devil. Yes, Satan is at work in our world. The Bible is my authority."

"Christ needs people today who are made of martyr stuff! Dare to take a strong, uncompromised stand for Him."
Billy Graham
"When you strip hope from people, it leaves a void, and that void needs to be filled. And very likely, that void is going to be filled by an ideology... Hope and faith are so connected. Now, when ideology connects with faith, the ideology becomes an item of faith, not a point of discussion."
Alfonso Cuaron
"Christians sometimes make themselves into elephants afraid of mice. You have the Creator of the universe on your side; not to mention, you've been given eternal life. 'Whom or what shall you fear?' To be afraid of anything other than God himself is like an insult to God."
Criss Jami
"The wings of the dove are as soft as they are swift. Gentleness is a sure result of the Sacred Dove's transforming power: hearts touched by His benign influence are meek and lowly henceforth and for ever."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"Father, I trust in you!"
Lailah Gifty Akita
"Mother, I share your concern, but I do not know how to be afraid of what I cannot change.'- Sari."
