I've discovered that when we take time to renew our minds with God's Word, we learn how to think like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act.
Everything we own really belongs to God, we are just renting it, and when we die those things are going to become somebody else's possessions.
Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.
Most people repent their sins by thanking God they ain't so wicked as their neighbors.
If America is too arrogant, too prideful to repent, it's not the kind of country that God wants it to be.
People should try to know God and imitate him in their works. Repetitions and ceremonials are of no use.
Klopstock was questioned regarding the meaning of a passage in his poem. He replied, 'God and I both knew what it meant once; now God alone knows.'
We are not cured of alcoholism. What we have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our daily activities.

America, North and South, is a choice land, a land reserved for God's own purposes.
I've come to realize I'm more spiritual than I am religious. What I mean by this: As far as praying to God goes, I'm more about looking inside for inner guidance - tapping into our own abundantly powerful inner resources - which, I suppose, is where some might say God does indeed reside.
If I know my own heart, I do now feel the necessity of resigning myself into the hands of my God, to mould and guide me at His will; tho I dare not say that I am, at present, willing to do it.
The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory.
I believe that Jesus was, you know, the Son of God. And I understand that... we need to be really, really respectful to people who find that ridiculous and... preposterous.
