Theology is a science of mind applied to God.
Let us die as soon as possible, and by whatever process God shall appoint. And when we are dead to the world, and nature, and self, we shall begin to live to God.
I'm a survivor of life. I try to give the glory to God and appreciate what's happening to me.
Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.
When we look for what's best in the person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does, so in appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.
When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
My disorder has been attended with several symptoms of a consumption; and I have been at times apprehensive that my great change was at hand: yet blessed be God, I have never been affrighted; but, on the contrary, at times much delighted with a view of its approach.
It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven.
When you face a 'performance' that might provoke the 'I'm scared' response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It's more fun than 'Dancing with the Stars!'
Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

The Ego is partly free. partly determined, and reaches fuller freedom by approaching the Individual who is most free: God.
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick; that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son.
The desperate hunger our president has for approbation has led him to such lengths as claiming that God stopped the rain during his Inauguration. In fact, Mother Nature made sure it rained on Trump's hair the minute he started his speech.
No one can appropriate God, goodness, the Bible or Jesus. It just seems that way.
I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed his stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land.
Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.
